Erin Dickie

I am an Early Career Scientist in the Kimel Family Translational Imaging-Genetics Laboratory and the Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, and also an Assistant Professor in Psychiatry at the University of Toronto.

T-CAIREM sounds like the ideal place to connect with like researchers from across U of T and its affiliate institutions.

My research aims to bridge the fields of Neuroinformatics and Psychiatry, for the benefit of people living with mental health disorders. I study brain connectivity with people with complex brain disorders (i.e. Autism and Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders) using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). My team provides the neuroinformatics infrastructure to support the organization, quality assurance and preprocessing for large neuroimaging cohort studies.  I contribute to open software development for MR image management and preprocessing, working with local national and international teams (i.e. the ciftify project, the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) contributors, and the Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform). I am a member of the Researcher Council for the Digital Research Alliance of Canada.
