Current activities
I aim to improve health by developing and evaluating novel ways to integrate psychiatry into medical care.
My current work focuses on depression in people with medical conditions such as cancer and on complex multi-morbidity in elderly medical inpatients (the HOME study).
I am particularly interested in creating real-world solutions to the challenge of delivering integrated care
