PhD student in Clinical Psychology & Neuroscience, Amelia Moser and Clinical Psychologist and Neuroscientist, Dr. Roselinde Kaiser write an opinion piece published in Neuropsychopharmacology titled Innovation with Rigor in Personalized Medicine: Back to the Basics.

The field of neuropsychopharmacology is increasingly integrating data science to enable personalized psychiatric treatments, but the complexity of these methods can hinder their clinical translation. For models to be impactful, they must be accurate (valid, reliable, and replicable), better than existing approaches, and  outcomes must be usable in real-world settings.

Coralie Phanord defends Master's thesis on Digital Phenotyping of Affect and Stress in Emerging Adults using data collected in the RADD Lab. Coralie will continue in the doctoral program in Clinical Psychology & Neuroscience. 

Dr. Roselinde Kaiser wins prestigious Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government on outstanding scientists and engineers early in their independent careers. 

Kaiser says, "Youth depression is an urgent public health priority; in our research, we are advancing new paths to promote healthy mood through interdisciplinary discovery achieved with and for young people. The PECASE recognizes the promise and innovation of this work and is a launchpad for research that will develop and scale programs for personalized health insight and wellness promotion. We are enthusiastic to begin the next chapter in research discovery and real-world impact.”

Roselinde Kaiser asks: what is it about the teen years that puts us at risk for depression – but also helps us to build resilience? Drawing upon neurodevelopmental and clinical science, Dr. Kaiser shows why adolescence is a developmental window of both risk and enrichment, and outlines strategies for teens (and the rest of us) to thrive.
