Overview

I am the Hodge Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience at Cardiff University. The Co-Director of the Hodge centre for Translational Neuroscience, Co-Director of The Waterloo Foundation Programme and Co-Director of the Neuroscience and Mental Health innovation Instit

My overarching interest is in the role of genetic and environmental risk factors in the development of serious mental illness. In my work I employ a translational approach spanning human and laboratory studies.

I am particularly interested in how identified genetic risk factors affect learning processes in the brain; abnormalities in which underlie key symptoms.

Overall I believe that understanding how genetic risk factors influence the brain and how these responses are modulated by environmental stimuli is crucial to the development of new treatments for psychiatric symptoms. In addition to my research work I am also clinically active and conduct clinics in neuropsychiatry.
