Personal profile
Biographical details
I am a Senior Lecturer and MRC New Investigator at the Social, Genetic and Developmental Psychiatry (SGDP) Research Centre. My research focuses on identifying molecular mechanisms underlying risk for psychiatric disorders and higher rates of age-related pathology.
My lab adopts multidisciplinary approaches to research, which include: telomere quantification, inflammatory cytokine quantification, cellular models, RNA sequecing analyses and accessing genetic and clinical datasets.
I currently teach on a variety of BSc and MSc programmes including the Developmental Psychology & Psychopathology MSc and BSc Psychology. I am an MSc and PhD supervisor and personal tutor.
