Vinberg's research centers on mood disorders through longitudinal twin studies investigating cognitive predictors, biomarkers, and treatment outcomes. Key interests include bipolar disorder pathophysiology, cognitive functioning in affective episodes, pharmacovigilance of antidepressants, and virtual reality assessment tools. Her work integrates genetic vulnerability with environmental factors like lifestyle and metabolic health.

Analysis of her 2025 publications reveals dominant themes: 1) Twin-based prediction models for mood disorder onset/recurrence using cognitive and personality metrics; 2) Neuroimaging and biomarker studies (e.g., erythropoietin effects on brain structure, malondialdehyde as oxidative stress marker); 3) Pharmacovigilance investigations linking antidepressants to ocular complications; 4) Digital phenotyping via virtual reality for functional assessment.
