I am always available to schedule a meeting in my WebEx room (https://unimib.webex.com/start/raffaella.calati). 

 

I supervise theses in the field of suicide prevention.

Unfortunately, I have no more theses available for the first part of 2025. 

 

Theses for 2025 (with discussion from October):

- Among the various projects in which you can be included there is the possibility to collaborate with:

a) the Institute of Forensic Medicine of Milan (sample of suicides)

b) the Santagostino medical center (samples of patients)

 

- Full time availability

- Motivated, tenacious and detail-oriented students are preferred

 

The selection of my new undergraduates (graduation from October 2025 onwards) will take place on 20th December 2024 h 15-17 in my WebEx room (https://unimib.webex.com/start/raffaella.calati). Anyone interested should write to me to receive the material in advance.

 

***I ALWAYS reply as soon as possible to every email I receive. In the case you would not receive a reply in 2 weeks (if there are no further reasons), the only reason is the large amount of emails I receive everyday. In this case I apologize and I ask you to write to me again. You will receive a reply asap***

Research

My lines of research are organized around the improvement of the screening, the evaluation of risk factors and modalities of prevention and treatment of suicidal thoughts and behaviors and mood disorders. I use meta-analytic tools and I have expertise in systematic reviews of the literature.
