Overview

I am a lecturer based at the Wolfson Centre for Young People’s Mental Health and am part of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry group within the Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics. My research investigates young people’s mental health using an interdisciplinary approach, integrating developmental psychopathology, psychiatry and genetic epidemiology. I am particularly interested in developmental differences in the aetiology and presentation of mental health problems.

In 2023 I was awarded an MRC New Investigator Research Grant to investigate how and why ADHD leads to depression in young people (2023-2026). This research is co-produced with young people with lived experience via the Wolfson Centre’s Youth Advisory Group and the McPin Foundation.

I am also a co-investigator on the Horizon Europe project Youth-GEMs: Gene Environment interactions in Mental health trajectories of Youth (2022-2027).
