My Work
My research group carries out investigations of early life risk factors for adult mental illness. A particular research focus is the study of psychotic symptoms in adolescence which convey an increased risk of schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. My research into psychotic symptoms covers a broad array of methodologies - ranging from epidemiology to neuroimaging to qualitative research. The other focus of my research group is in the area of youth mental health - epidemiology and policy implications. My research team comprise researchers from a range of disciplines: social science, psychology, bioengineering and neuroscience.
