Prof. Gaia Albano

I teach at UNIPA and at the NECTAR Master; my courses are based on new evidence based brief treatment directed to clinical populations. From next year I will teach lectures on psychopathology.
In 2014 I attended a semester in France at the University Lumierè Lyon 2, (France) and after my graduation I went for an international placement of 1 year to King’s College London in order to improve my research skills and knowledge about eating disorder psychopathology and new techniques. In 2016 I obtained a position as Research Assistant of a clinical trial focused on outpatients with a diagnosis of Anorexia Nervosa. I spent 5 years in London andin 2017 I was awarded with a 3 years PhD scholarship funded by Palermo University. During my PhD program I went to Ottawa to improve my knowledge related to Binge Eating Disorder treatments and processes measures. I got my European PhD in 2021. Currently I am covering a position as RTD-A.
My scientific interests are:novel evidence-based treatment in eating disorders, management of large RCTs, development of integrative models aimed to improve illness maintaining symptoms in eating disorders, evaluation of emotional, cognitive, interpersonal, motivational and nutritional aspects related to eating disorders.
