My research focuses on the psychiatric care of patients infected with HIV and those undergoing treatment for hepatitis C. These studies are concerned with regulation of cognition and mood. My main study in the area of HIV involves characterizing 900 HIV+ individuals across Canada who will be followed for 2.5 years to elucidate factors that contribute to the development of cognitive decline, with interventional trials being conducted in selected subgroups of individuals. Other projects include (1) documenting changes in cognition in HIV+ individuals at risk of cognitive decline over 1 year; (2) improving cognition in HIV+ individuals through a personalized change in antiretroviral medication informed by analysis of cerebrospinal fluid; and (3) developing a computerized tool that can measure cognitive ability in a clinical setting. All these studies involve interdisciplinary collaborations (neurology, neuropsychology, epidemiology, HIV clinicians and community groups) and aim to develop innovative solutions that can be applied in the clinic.Team Members
