Silvia Corbera is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine, where she conducts research focused on schizophrenia and psychosis. Her work primarily examines social cognition, coordinated specialty care, and the impact of duration of untreated psychosis on clinical outcomes.
Dr. Corbera's research interests center on understanding the mechanisms underlying social cognitive deficits in schizophrenia and developing interventions to improve outcomes for individuals with first-episode psychosis. She has made significant contributions to the field of coordinated specialty care, particularly examining how early intervention impacts long-term functioning and quality of life. Her work often bridges clinical psychiatry with neuroscience approaches, including EEG studies of neural correlates of social functioning.

Dr. Corbera has published numerous articles in high-impact journals including Schizophrenia Bulletin, European Psychiatry, and PLOS ONE. Her recent work shows a trend toward examining the intersection of clinical symptoms, neurophysiological markers, and functional outcomes in psychotic disorders. She has also expanded her research to include public health applications, as evidenced by her work on anxiety and prosocial behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dr. Corbera was awarded the NARSAD Young Investigator Award in 2010, recognizing her early contributions to schizophrenia research.
She collaborates extensively with researchers across Yale, including frequent collaborations with Cenk Tek, Fangyong Li, Maria Ferrara, Michal Assaf, and Vinod H. Srihari. Her research is primarily conducted through Yale's Program for Specialized Treatment Early in Psychosis (STEP) and related initiatives focused on first-episode psychosis.
