Dr. Marco Pinna (PsyD) <\/strong>is a Research Fellow at the University of Cagliari. He graduated in Clinical Psychology at the University of Padua with a thesis on efficacy of psychoeducation in Bipolar Disorder. Recently, his research activity has focused on to evaluation of the impact of the genotyping of the CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 genes in a sample of patients of Sardinian origin on clinical outcomes in patients suffering from MDD and being treated with antidepressants. He is currently coordinating the recruitment of a project based on a multi-omic approach and integration of metabolomic data with gut microbiota to identify biological signatures of response to mood stabilizers in bipolar disorder. He is involved in the recruitment, psycho-diagnostic evaluation and clinical phenotypic characterization of depressed patients enrolled in Phase 2 of PROMPT project. He is also involved in conducting focus groups related to the survey committee.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
