Quick Facts Education, Fields ...

Education

Joaquim Radua studied Medicine as well as Statistics at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and graduated in 2003 and 2010 respectively.[2] He did his residency training at the Hospital Universitari of Bellvitge (Barcelona) and became a specialist in Psychiatry in 2008.[2] He subsequently received his PhD in biostatistics of brain imaging at King's College London and conducted a Río Hortega Research Training Program in 2013.[2] He also conducted a postdoctoral stay at Yale University.[3]

Career

Research focus/interests

He has developed several meta-analytic and neuroimaging methods. MetaNSUE and Seed-based d mapping (formerly Signed Differential Mapping, SDM) methods must be highlighted for their applicability and becoming software most used by the scientific community at the present time. He also conducts studies on evidence-based personalized medicine, specially focusing on clinical prediction (e.g. assessing the risk of recurrence for each individual) based on available clinical and biological.[3]

Awards

Radua has been named a Highly Cited Researcher by Clarivate Analytics, ranking among top 1% of researchers for most cited documents in Psychiatry / Psychology.[1]

Present appointments

Dr. Joaquim Radua leads a research team at FIDMAG (Barcelona), and he is a visiting / associated researcher at Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (King's College London) and Karolinska Institutet.[3] At the academic level he teaches and coordinates several postgraduate courses in statistics and neuroimaging,[3] including the direction of a course in advanced neuroimaging techniques in Spanish.[4]

Positions of trust/research assessments

He is on the editorial board of a range of international scientific journals including frontiers in Psychiatry and BioMed Research International,[5] and regularly reviews articles for many others. He is the current president of the Spanish Neuroimaging Society.[6]

Publications

Radua has published more than 100 articles[7] His h-index is 59 and has over 5386 citations (Google Scholar).[8]
