About me
- I am an associate professor at the Aging Research Center, Karolinska
Institute, Sweden where I have established myself as an independent
scientist. In parallel I work as a consultant psychiatrist at the Affective
disorder unit at Psykiatri Nordväst, Stockholm, Sweden. I graduated in
medicine in 2002 at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and obtained a PhD in
Neuroscience at the same university in 2006. During my PhD, I performed
experiments in the field of Behavioral and Molecular Pharmacology using
animal models of vulnerability to addiction. After obtaining a PhD,
my interests expanded to Cognitive Neuroscience and between 2008 and 2012
I was a postdoctoral fellow first at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience
and thereafter at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging, at University
College London (UCL).
PhD prize of excellence (Premi extraordinari de final de doctorat), awarded
by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
University Medical Degree
PhD in Neuroscience
Research
- I combine behavioral approaches, computational modeling, pharmacological
manipulations, and imaging techniques such as fMRI and PET. I
have currently two main research interests: First, to understand the role
of neuromodulators like dopamine and serotonin in motivational process and
decision-making - Second, to understand how subjective beliefs about the
controllability of the environment impact reward learning and decision
making. My previous research has focused on the study of healthy volunteers,
but I am currently planning new experiments to study the relationship
between the cognitive functions underlying decision-making abilities and the
expression of depression in psychiatric patients.
