Career and Research[edit | edit source]

Anagnostou's research primarily focuses on the neurobiology of autism and related neurodevelopmental disorders. She is interested in understanding the genetic and environmental factors that contribute to the development of these disorders, and how these factors influence brain development and function. Her work involves the use of advanced neuroimaging techniques, genomic analyses, and clinical trials to investigate these questions.

She is also involved in the development of novel therapeutic approaches for autism and related disorders. This includes the use of pharmacological treatments, as well as non-pharmacological interventions such as behavioral therapy and neurofeedback.
