He has developed several meta-analytic and neuroimaging methods. MetaNSUE and Seed-based d mapping (formerly Signed Differential Mapping, SDM) methods must be highlighted for their applicability and becoming software most used by the scientific community at the present time. He also conducts studies on evidence-based personalized medicine, specially focusing on clinical prediction (e.g. assessing the risk of recurrence for each individual) based on available clinical and biological.[3]
