I’m a postdoctoral researcher in precision psychiatry: the effort to tailor psychiatric diagnosis and treatment to the individual patient, rather than to the average of many. I hold positions at Amsterdam UMC and Leiden University. I work across obsessive-compulsive, anxiety and mood disorders, using brain scans from thousands of people, machine learning, and studies that follow the same individuals over many years, to understand individual differences rather than the “average” patient. Most of it happens through international consortia: ENIGMA-OCD, ENIGMA-ANXIETY and GEMRIC.
Preprocessing and analysis pipelines for MRI data, and code behind the consortium papers listed below. A model that only works on the data it was built from hasn't told us much, so I try to keep the methods inspectable.
| The functional connectome in OCD | ENIGMA-OCD mega-analysis, 2,052 participants across 28 sites · Molecular Psychiatry |
| Predicting ECT outcome in depression | Multimodal biomarker, GEMRIC consortium · Psychological Medicine |
| Brain-based classification of youth anxiety | ENIGMA-Anxiety, 3,343 participants · Nature Mental Health |
| Structural biomarkers for OCD: medication matters | ENIGMA-OCD, 4,372 participants · Translational Psychiatry |
