Dr. Julio Nunes is a Psychiatry Resident at Yale University, with clinical experiences in Brazil and the U.S. After medical school, he completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at the Stanford University Center for Clinical Research, where he studied shared decision-making and disparities. There, he was awarded for achievements in clinical trial equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Now at Yale, his interests lie at the intersection of medicine, psychiatry, and addiction. He is a part of the Pain and Addiction Interaction Neurosciences Laboratory, focused on the research of pharmacological treatments for patients with chronic pain and substance use disorders. He is particularly interested in how health-care disparities affect pain management for persons living with addiction.
