Abraham Nunes is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Dalhousie University. His work focuses on the Computational Psychiatry Laboratory, where he employs both theory-driven (computational modeling of psychopathology) and theory-free (advanced statistics and machine learning) approaches to study the computational pathophysiology and heterogeneity of mental illnesses, particularly bipolar disorder. Nunes has contributed significantly to the understanding of bipolar disorder through various publications that highlight the use of genomic data to predict lithium response and the identification of genetically separable phenotypes. He has been recognized with multiple awards throughout his career, including the Killam Postgraduate Scholarship and the Scotia Scholars PhD Scholarship. His research interests lie at the intersection of computational psychiatry and neuroscience, with a particular emphasis on machine learning methods to tailor treatment and understand variations in mental health conditions.
