Marco Solmi, MD, Psychiatrist, PhD, is Assistant Professor of psychiatry at Neurosciences Department, University of Padua. His three main clinical areas of interest are prevention/early intervention in psychiatry, comorbidity between medical and mental disorders, and psychopharmacology. From a methodological standpoint, he is mostly interested in meta-research, ranging from systematic reviews, meta-analyses, network meta-analyses, to umbrella reviews, and also in real-world data. He works as a psychiatrist, and his research has the ultimate aim to answer clinically relevant questions to ultimately improve physical and mental health-care of subjects with or at risk of mental disorders. Marco has co-authored over 200 publications in peer-reviewed journals since 2014.
