The Precision Psychiatry Section was initially conceived as the Neurodiagnostic Applications Section founded in 2013 by Prof. Koutsouleris with the aim of developing machine learning methods for diagnostics and prediction in psychiatry. The team is a multidisciplinary group from different fields of medicine, psychology, and computer science. Promising research results from multiple international projects have been published in more than 50 scientific articles. The team led the EU-funded (FP7) project PRONIA (Prognostic Tools for Early Psychosis Management; http://proniapredictors.eu/pronia/index.html) that recruited a clinical cohort of more than 1974 individuals across European countries who were extensively clinically and biologically characterized. In addition, decisive progress has been made in establishing translational tools to deploy machine learning models (www.proniapredictors.eu) and software (https://github.com/neurominer-git)
