    The researcher's guide to selecting biomarkers in mental health studies

    Clinical mental health researchers may understandably struggle with how to incorporate biological assessments in clinical research. The options are numerous and are described in a vast and complex body of literature. Here we provide guidelines to assist mental health researchers seeking to include biological measures in their studies.

    Konstantinos Tsikonofilos, PhD

    Postdoc

    Dr Tsikonofilos holds a Diploma in Applied Mathematical and Physical Sciences from the National Technical University of Athens, an MSc in Biomedical Engineering, and a PhD in Bioengineering from Imperial College London, UK. With expertise in statistics, computer science, and neurotechnology, he specializes in analyzing various datasets including spiking, local field potential, ECoG, EEG, and fMRI. His skills encompass signal processing, machine learning and statistical modeling, graph theory and computational modeling, with experience in experimental design and data collection of electrophysiological signals, as well as preclinical modeling of brain injury.

     

    Dr Tsikonofilos previous research had a clinical focus on cognitive enhancers, hearing loss, cochlear implant design, and traumatic brain injury. Currently a postdoctoral researcher in the lab, he will work towards uncovering biomarkers of psychiatric disorders and treatment outcomes and exploring the role of neural variability and plasticity in fear avoidance behavior, utilizing multimodal datasets.

    Ondrej Zika, PhD

    Postdoc

    Dr Zika completed his BSc in Psychology & Marketing at Aberystwyth University, during which he worked as a research assistant (RA) at Caltech in John O'Doherty's lab, before moving to Oxford University first as an RA in Sonia Bishop's lab and later as a PhD student. During his PhD, Dr Zika investigated computational and neural mechanisms of aversive learning in relation to anxiety. He later joined the lab of Dr Nico Schuck at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development where he continued his work on a brad range of topics in computational psychiatry and cognitive neuroscience. At the Månsson lab, Dr Zika investigates test-retest reliability of neural signals, as well as perception of ambiguity in a psychiatric and a non-clinical sample.
