Genomics × Psychology × Statistics
Hi, I’m Luca 👋
M.Sc. student in Applied Psychology at the University of Trieste, working at the intersection of statistical genomics and biological psychiatry.
I collaborate with the Behavior, Environment, and Genetics Lab at WashU in St. Louis (MO, USA), working on the genomics of psychiatric traits.
Research Interests
- Psychiatric genomics - psychosis, neurodevelopment
- Statistical genomics for complex traits
- Bayesian hierarchical modelling of RNA-seq trajectories
- Longitudinal genetic models
