Dr. Gloria Roberts is a Research Fellow at the Black Dog Institute, affiliated with the University of New South Wales' Faculty of Medicine, School of Psychiatry. Her research focuses on identifying predictors of bipolar disorder development in high-risk populations, with particular emphasis on neural mechanisms of executive functioning and emotional processing. Location: Black Dog Institute, Hospital Road, Prince of Wales Hospital, Randwick NSW 2031 Contact: +61 2 9382 8324 | ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1966-5120 Education Background: B.Sc in Applied Psychology (University College Cork, Ireland, 2002) M.Sc in Neuropharmacology (National University of Ireland Galway, Ireland, 2003) Diploma in Statistics (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, 2006) PhD in Neuroscience (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, 2008) Dr. Roberts' research program centers on the neural basis of emotional dysregulation characteristic of mood disorders, employing structural and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging as her primary research tool. Her work integrates advanced neuroimaging analysis techniques including diffusion tensor imaging tractography, dynamic causal modeling, graph theory, and machine learning approaches. She maintains active collaborations with Queensland Institute of Medical Research (Brisbane), Neuroscience Research Australia (Sydney), and the Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (Sydney). Analysis of Dr. Roberts' publication record (94 journal articles, 2 book chapters, 25 conference papers) reveals a consistent research trajectory focused on neurocognitive patterns in bipolar disorder. Her recent work increasingly incorporates machine learning techniques to identify predictive biomarkers, with a growing emphasis on longitudinal studies tracking high-risk populations. The interdisciplinary nature of her research bridges neuroscience, psychiatry, and computational methods to address fundamental questions about mood disorder development. Scientific Contributions: Extensive publication record across multiple formats (journal articles, book chapters, conference presentations) Development of innovative neuroimaging analysis techniques for bipolar disorder research Establishment of multi-institutional collaborations across Australia Integration of machine learning approaches with traditional neuroimaging methods Dr. Roberts actively mentors junior researchers and contributes to the broader scientific community through peer review activities and participation in research networks focused on mood disorders. Her work has significant implications for early intervention strategies and the development of novel therapeutic approaches for bipolar disorder.
