Patricia Pelufo Silveira, MD, PhD, is a professor in the department of Psychiatry, and is the associate director of the 成人VR视频 Integrated Program in Neuroscience (IPN). Her research focuses on how perinatal and early-childhood environments can shape and modulate both health and disease across the lifespan, into old age. Dr. Silveira's aim is to identify genetic/epigenetic markers that interact with environmental adversities in childhood, modifying behaviours (impulsivity, sensitivity to reward, food choices) that ultimately affect healthy growth and neurodevelopment and increasing an individual鈥檚 risk for developing chronic diseases and mental illnesses as they age.

Dr. Silveira听created a biologically informed methodology, expression-based Polygenic Risk Scores (ePRS). Her unique approach focuses on gene networks, rather than individual genes or single-genetic-variations, and听enables the exploitation of听under-utilised听genetic data听collected by most studies exploring the impact of early life adversities.听
