Professor, Division of Psychological Medicine and Clinical Neurosciences
Overview
I am a Professor of Psychological Medicine within the Division of Psychological Medicine and Clinical Neurosciences, the MRC Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics and the Neuroscience and Mental Health Research Institute at Cardiff University.
My research focuses on the characterisation of the genetic and environmental factors that play a role in the development of mental health disorders. This includes understanding the complex developmental relationships across the lifespan between mental health disorders and other health-related conditions.
My background is in psychology, human genetics and epidemiology/methodology.
I am interested in the wide-ranging developmental, behavioural, cognitive and psychiatric and physical health manifestations that can be experienced by people with rare genomic variants, including chromosomal microdeletions and duplications known as Copy Number Variants (CNVs).
I have extensive experience playing lead roles in international consortia studying CNV and mental health.
A key aim is also to communicate mental health research findings widely and strive for societal benefit.

Research
Lead roles
LIfespaN multimorbidity research Collaborative (LINC)
I lead the LINC programme grant, bringing together researchers from Cardiff, Bristol, Leeds, Queen Mary London, and Exeter Universities and the Wellcome Sanger Institute in the UK as well as Roskilde University in Denmark. LINC studies the development of physical and mental health multimorbidity across the lifespan. The programme involves analysis of eight large longitudinal cohorts (combined sample size ~7 million) to evaluate the role of genetic and environmental factors on risk of multimorbidity development.
Cardiff ExperieCes of people witH rare genOmic variants (ECHO) Research Programme
I initiated and lead a large-scale longitudinal research programme which studies mental and physical health in people with a range of rare genomic variants linked with increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorder. Participants are recruited through UK Medical Genetics clinics and their family members also take part. This programme combines detailed wide-ranging phenotyping with genetic, cellular, pharmacological and brain imaging studies.
