Dr Josh Hope-Bell
Research Associate, Division of Psychological Medicine and Clinical Neurosciences
Overview
I am currently working on the IMAGINE-2 project, which is a longitudinal study of how rare genetic conditions affect young people's development and mental health. As well as psychiatric genetics, I am interested in using cognitive behavioural interventions for improving psychological wellbeing, namely acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
