Research interests
My group investigate the contribution of genetic and environmental mechanisms to a range of neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorders (schizophrenia, attention deficient hyperactivity disorder and autism) and psychiatric disorders (anxiety, depression). In addition to studying the role of genes in behaviour, I also have a particular interest in the interaction of genes with early life stressful environments and drug exposure.
