Biography
Head of the Department of Psychiatry at the University Hospital of Liège since 2016, Gabrielle Scantamburlo holds a teaching position in Psychiatry and Medical Psychology at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Liège. She is also the doctor in charge and coordinator of the Centre d'Accompagnement des Transidentités and the Centre de référence TOC at the CHU de Liège. Recently, Gabrielle Scantamburlo has developed a mixed psychiatry and neurosurgery consultation, in connection with the treatment of severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) using neurosurgery and deep brain stimulation.
Graduating as a doctor from ULiège in 2000, she specialized in Psychiatry in 2005. The following year, she defended her doctoral thesis on the involvement of neurohypophyseal function in unipolar depression. She then completed her studies with an Interfaculty Certificate in Pedagogical Development in Higher Education. On the research front, after a spell as a clinician-researcher at the FNRS and a spell in Montreal at McGill University, Gabrielle Scantamburlo now heads the Psychoneuroendocrinology Research Unit at ULiège.
Most of his work is devoted to oxytocin, neuroscience and pedagogy. In particular, her study of the potential of oxytocin in the treatment of depression (administration of intranasal oxytocin in combination with antidepressant treatments) is showing promising results. Gabrielle Scantamburlo is also developing Narrative Medicine at the Faculty of Medicine.
