Ryan J. Murray, PhD

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Psychiatry of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Geneva. I received my doctoral degree in psychology in 2018 from the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences in Geneva, where I investigated how the brain treats subjective relevance in the general population.

Previously, I was granted a US Fulbright Scholarship to conduct developmental psychiatric research in Geneva, where I subsequently obtained a master's degree in neuroscience and a complementary master's degree in psychology.

Currently, I am assisting in the acquisition and analysis of brain imaging and physiology data in a longitudinal double-blind clinical trial investigating the efficacy of mindfulness training on young adolescents (13-15 years) who are at-risk for anxiety.

I am also collaborating with various research and clinical associations working to better understand the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying social interactions as well as resilience to mental illness. See my Research Interests and
