Dr. Radua, leader of the Imaging of Mood, Anxiety and Related Disorders (IMARD) group at Institut d'Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS, Barcelona) and awarded with a Miguel Servet II contract, is a psychiatrist medical doctor and statistician who earned his doctorate in biostatistics of brain imaging at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN), King's College London.
He has led many multidisciplinary studies about mental disorders and has analyzed many clinical and neuroimaging datasets; these usually worldwide collaborations have led to >200 publications in Pubmed-indexed journals (~50% in the first decile). He has been included in the Highly Cited Researchers List 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020.
He has also developed several new meta-analytic and neuroimaging methods, among which SDM software must be highlighted for becoming a standard within the scientific community. His research is currently also focused on the clinical prediction (e.g. recurrence risk) based on available clinical and biological data to pave the way for evidence-based personalized medicine in mental health.
At the academic level he teaches and coordinates several postgraduate courses in statistics and neuroimaging, is an associate editor of Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, Revista de Psiquiatria y Salud Mental and other journals, and holds the presidency of the Spanish Neuroimaging Society.
He has mainly developed his work in London (IoPPN, King's College London, where he is a honorary researcher and keeps continued collaborations with Dr. Paolo Fusar-Poli), Stockholm (Karolinksa Institutet, Sweeden, where he is also a honorary researcher and keeps continued collaborations with Prof. David Mataix-Cols), New Haven (Yale University, Connecticut, USA) and Barcelona (FIDMAG Research Foundation; and since 2018 IDIBAPS).

new meta-analytic method that allows an unbiased inclusion of studies with non-statistically significant unreported effects (NSUEs). Note that a number of published studies may not report any statistics (e.g. t- or p-values) from those findings that did not reach statistical significance, and it can be shown that exclusion of these studies leads to strong positive biases, whereas considering these effects as null leads to negative biases. MetaNSUE uses maximum likelihood estimation and multiple imputation techniques to unbiasedly include these studies.:
new meta-analytic method for voxel-based neuroimaging modalities such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), positron emission tomography (PET), voxel-based morphometry (VBM) or diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), as well as its application for investigating a range of neuropsychiatric disorders. It also includes some utilities to perform simple standard meta-analyses (e.g. for global grey matter volume) as well as to conduct simple arithmetic or statistical operations with 3D images.:
