My research focuses on the psychosocial aspects of two medical conditions, HIV infection and the post-COVID syndrome. These studies are concerned with regulation of cognition and mood and understanding of their impact on everyday function and quality of life. The HIV study involves characterizing 900 HIV+ individuals across Canada, followed since 2013 to elucidate factors that contribute to the development of cognitive decline and mood changes, with interventional trials being conducted in selected subgroups of individuals. This study involves interdisciplinary collaborations (neurology, neuropsychology, epidemiology, HIV clinicians and community groups) and aims to develop innovative solutions that can be applied in the clinic. The study in post-COVID syndrome aims to characterize the profiles of symptoms experienced by people with “long COVID,” documenting the evolution of these symptoms over time and their impact on function. As part of the study, we offer self-management resources to address some of the problematic symptoms.Team Members
