Summary.

Albert Sánchez Niubò holds a PhD from the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Barcelona (2014). He is currently a lecturer in the Department of Social Psychology and Quantitative Psychology at the University of Barcelona since October 2021.

He is the principal investigator of a national research project of the Instituto de Salud Carlos III '(PI19 / 00107) on cognitive impairment in depression and the impact on biopsychosocial functioning. Besides, he leads several work packages of European projects: in the harmonisation of data from international longitudinal studies on ageing and health in the ATHLOS project; in the establishment of guidelines for methods of harmonisation and integration of cohort data in the SYNCHROS project; and in the design of stratification cohorts for personalised medicine in the PERMIT project. In addition, he collaborates in the European RESPOND project on mental health and Covid-19.

His research career began in 2003 in the Health Services Research Group at the Mar Institute for Medical Research (IMIM) in Barcelona, in projects on mental health and schizophrenia. In 2008 he moved to the Research Group on Drug Epidemiology at the same institute, working on psychiatric disorders in drug users, alcohol consumption in the working population, and the incidence estimation of drug use in Spain. At the same time, he was an associate professor (part-time) between 2010 and 2014 in the Department of Public Health of the UB. In 2014, he was visiting professor (lecturer level) at Pompeu Fabra University and gave statistical support to the Research Group on Occupational Health. From 2015 to 2021, he was a postdoctoral researcher in the Mental Health and Epidemiology of Ageing Research Group at the Sant Joan de Déu Research Institute and an associate professor (part-time) in the Faculty of Medicine at the International University of Catalonia from 2019 to 2021.
