معرفی
Catalina Soler Torres is a Postdoctoral Fellow and Senior Consultant in Psychiatry at Uppsala University's Center for Clinical Research, Västmanland, based at Västmanland Hospital in Västerås, Sweden. Her clinical and research work focuses on adolescent mental health, integrating psychiatric practice with genetic and environmental research to advance depression diagnosis and treatment.
Her academic qualifications include:
- Physician (Medical Degree)
- Chief Physician in Psychiatry
- PhD in Psychiatry (2023, Uppsala University)
Dr. Soler Torres' research investigates complex interactions between genetic markers (PER2, BDNF polymorphisms), environmental stressors (family maltreatment, early life adversity), and protective factors like physical activity in adolescent depression. She employs interdisciplinary methodologies combining clinical psychiatry, genetic epidemiology, and psychometrics to refine diagnostic criteria and develop evidence-based interventions for vulnerable youth populations.
Her publication record (2018-2023) demonstrates consistent focus on adolescent depression mechanisms and assessment tools, with key contributions in gene-environment interactions, diagnostic scale validation, and sex-specific vulnerability factors. This work positions her at the nexus of clinical practice, genetic research, and adolescent mental health policy development.
As part of Västmanland Hospital's Center for Clinical Research, she collaborates with multidisciplinary teams including psychiatrists, geneticists, and public health specialists to translate research findings into clinical protocols for adolescent psychiatric care across regional healthcare networks.
