Umit Tural, MD

Research Assistant Professor, Department of Psychiatry

Summary

My research centers on the biological and clinical mechanisms of anxiety, stress-related, and mood disorders, with a particular focus on post-traumatic stress disorder and panic disorder. A significant part of my work applies advanced statistical methods to strengthen the reliability of psychiatric research. I am especially interested in meta-analysis and in developing rigorous approaches to synthesizing findings across studies. My expertise also includes the use of statistical software such as R, Stata, and SPSS.
