معرفی
Torill Ueland is an Associate Professor at the Department of Psychology, University of Oslo, affiliated with the Faculty of Social Sciences. Her research focuses on cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and neuropsychology, particularly exploring long-term recovery in first-episode psychosis, cognitive impairments in mental disorders, and inflammatory mechanisms in schizophrenia and bipolar disorders.
Her work emphasizes qualitative studies on patient experiences and quantitative investigations into biomarkers such as cortisol, CRP, and telomere length. She collaborates on projects analyzing immune system dysregulation and genetic correlations in neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions. Current research also includes longitudinal studies on brain structure changes over time in psychosis patients.
Notable trends in her publications highlight interdisciplinary approaches combining clinical psychology with neuroimaging, genetic analysis, and immunology. She explores how cognitive growth charting and normative models can improve early diagnosis and treatment strategies. Her work often addresses translational challenges in biomedical research, such as handling missing data and applying machine learning to cognitive trajectory analysis.
Ueland contributes to advancing understanding of recovery pathways in severe mental illnesses, focusing on both patient-reported outcomes and biological mechanisms underlying symptomatology and functional impairment.
