Computational and Precision Psychiatry [login at prompt]

Available: 12/11/23, Expires: 12/31/24

The student will learn about the risk factors as well as biomarkers used in psychiatry, with specific focus on the psychosis and autism spectra. In addition, the student will also learn about the most valuable outcome measures in those populations. From a technical point of view, the student will learn statistical analyses, coding and machine learning and will be able to apply their knowledge to real world data.

Publications listed below are automatically derived from MEDLINE/PubMed and other sources, which might result in incorrect or missing publications. Faculty can login to make corrections and additions.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
