About Me

Photo of Dylan

Hello! I am Dylan Hamitouche, a medical student at McGill University with a passion for neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and technology. I am currently working as a student researcher in the Harroud Lab at the Montreal Neurological Institute where I do research on multiple sclerosis (MS), with a particular emphasis on proteomics and biological aging. I also work for the McGill Lab for Computational Psychiatry and Translation (McPsyt) Lab at the Douglas Research Center where I study psychosis from a digital phenotyping approach.

In my free time, I enjoy working out, reading, coding, and listening to the Lex Fridman podcast :)
