Justin T Baker

Justin T Baker is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at McLean Hospital, where he leads the Baker Lab. His research focuses on understanding the biology of severe mental illnesses like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder through deep phenotyping, computational methods, and machine learning. He develops unobtrusive tools for naturalistic behavioral monitoring to improve diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Research interests include:

• Neuropathology and disease mechanisms in psychiatry
• Computational psychiatry and machine learning applications
• Deep phenotyping of mental illness
• Longitudinal studies of brain-behavior relationships
• Neuroimaging and brain structure/function analysis

His recent publications emphasize predictive modeling of cognitive function, trauma-related dissociation, PTSD neuroanatomy, and AI integration in psychiatric care. Collaborations span global cohorts like the AMP® SCZ initiative and ENIGMA-PGC PTSD workgroup.
