Corrado Sandini studied medicine at the University of Genova in Italy. He then pursued a PhD in Neuroscience at the University of Geneva focusing on the developmental of computational approaches, namely dynamic network analysis, to characterize neurodevelopmental and clinical pathways of vulnerability to psychosis in 22q11DS. Since his PhD he divides his time as a resident in child and adolescent psychiatry at the Fondation Pole Autisme in Geneva and research activity. He has been supported by a clinical scientist grant of the NNCR Synapsy to study the role of sleep disturbances in 22q11DS and more recently by an the SNSF Ambizione Fellowship to study the contribution of sleep disturbances in contributing to affective comorbidities in ADHD using an ecological digital phenotyping approach and network analysis techniques.
Corrado will highlight the role that computational analysis techniques might play in the clinical translation of these technologies, by helping clinicians navigate the complexity of digital phenotyping data in a more intuitive and informative way. He will briefly discuss how increasing precision of clinical assessments could help us shed light on differential underlying neurobiological mechanisms.
