Dr. Antonios I. Christou is a VC2020 Lecturer in Cognitive & Affective Neuroscience. He is actively involved in the emerging field of Neuroimaging Genetics, which integrates brain activity and genetic profiles to promote understanding of human risk and resilience for affective problems. Dr. Christou is currently developing new multimodal approaches to enhance our ability to understand brain function and human affectivity using multiple physiological and neuropsychological tools.
