Marcella Bellani, MD, Ph.D., is associate professor of Psychiatry at the Department of Neuroscience, Biomedicine, and Movement of the University of Verona. She is leading the Brain Imaging and Neuropsychology Unit of Verona University. In these years, she has been working with Professor Paolo Brambilla on the neurobiological mechanisms of psychiatric disorders. The Brain Imaging and Neuropsychology Unit applies multimodal neuroimaging techniques and machine learning to explore the location, amplitude, and timing of brain changes in adults with psychiatric disorders, to detect biomarkers of pathology, that may support early diagnosis, and more focused interventions. Specifically, over the years it has been developed a translational approach combining multimodal MRI (sMRI, fMRI, spectroscopy, resting state), innovative neuropsychological assessments, and rehabilitation strategies, with the final aim of improving prediction, early diagnosis, treatment, and wellbeing of people with a mental disorder. This effort has resulted in hundreds of publications and international scientific collaborations. Main scientific fields of investigation: Biological correlates of psychiatric diseases. MRI applications in Psychiatry. Pathophysiology and neuroplasticity of psychiatric disorders. Neurocognitive and immunological profiles of psychiatric illnesses. Cognitive rehabilitation strategies Prediction and machine learning approaches Digital psychiatry
