Biography

I am a mental health researcher aiming to outline evidence-based practical conclusions for clinicians. I am interested in prevalent psychopathologies (PTSD, depression, and anxiety disorders), striving to understand their transdiagnostic mechanisms and promote effective and tailored interventions. I hold a BSc in psychology, biology, and neuroscience, and MA in clinical psychology, all from Tel-Aviv University. In recent years, I combined research and clinical practice in Israel’s public health services, to attain a holistic perspective on psychopathology. At Cambridge’s MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, I will investigate the cognitive processes that underlie formulation-based interventions for PTSD, emphasizing the dynamics of negative appraisals and trauma memory. To that end, I plan to bring a personalized approach to my research, assimilating the notion of ‘precision medicine’ into evidence-based psychotherapy. I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of the Gates Cambridge community and study alongside inspiring peers and mentors.
