Giulia Piazza

Giulia completed an MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience and a BA in Psychology and Philosophy.

She worked as an undergraduate and postgraduate Research Assistant on a variety of projects involving neuroimaging and psychopharmacology. She hopes to focus on transdiagnostic research, moving beyond artificial diagnostic constructs that do not necessarily map onto natural ones and group heterogeneous disease presentations under the same classification.

Giulia cultivates an interest in science communication and open science.

She is focusing on training in research methods in her rotation year. She believes sharing access to data, building human expertise, and interdisciplinary, global collaborations can lead to a translation of research on the aetiology and mechanisms of mental health disorders to effective, widely accessible, evidence-based treatments in the clinic.
