Thank you to @UBC_Psychiatry for the opportunity to present at Research Day 2025! Honoured to have received the Best Lightning Talk award in my session, and had a great time hearing about all the exciting work going on at UBC. Looking forward to next year! 🧠
Many thanks to our Lightning Talk Speakers in the AM Session! Pictured here are our first three speakers Abhijit Chinchani @chinchani_a_m, Catie Futhey @CatieFuthey, and Tara Gaertner @TaraMedBrain 🙌
Presented my research using machine learning to identify cognitive subtypes in chronic schizophrenia and link them to postmortem brain pathology at #SIRS2025. Such a great hub for interdisciplinary and international discussion!
Happy #TranslationalThursday!
Check out a new publication from Dr. Honer @UBC_Psychiatry and Dr. @LiisaGalea@CAMHResearch, exploring the link between age at menopause, synaptic health and Alzheimer's disease pathology.

Just because you don't see a sex difference in your behaviour does not mean you will not see sex differences in mechanism. NB there are different types of sex differences and mechanistic sex differences will mean different treatments are likely needed to modify the behaviour.
Check out my article with the Women's Health Research Cluster on how medical education could play a crucial role in closing the women’s health gap! #WomensHealth#SGBA
Women’s health topics are STILL not adequately incorporated into clinical training 🤯 and many trainees feel unprepared for sex and gender differences in healthcare.

Knowing how individuals are going to react to antidepressants prior to resource- and time-intensive trial and error periods could actually SAVE hundreds of millions of dollars (not to mention the better patient experience...) such an awesome study out of UBC
Using genomic testing to help select the right antidepressant drug for adults with moderate or severe depression would improve survival and reduce health system costs.
