About
I am Professor of Psychiatric and Social Epidemiology, and joint Head of Research Department of Epidemiology and Applied Clinical Research in the Division of Psychiatry, UCL. I am Director and Founder of the PsyLife research group (www.psylife.eu) at UCL that explores the social and environmental determinants of psychosis and other mental health disorders. I am particularly interested in social inequalities in psychosis risk by person and place. I have received numerous research grants and fellowships from the Wellcome Trust, NIHR, UKRI, Mental Health Research UK and other funders.
I trained in geography at the University of Nottingham, supervised by Professor John Giggs (2002). I completed an M.Sc. in Epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (2003) and my Ph.D. in Psychiatric Epidemiology under the supervision of Professor Peter Jones at the University of Cambridge (2007). I have held both a Sir Henry Wellcome and Sir Henry Dale Fellowship from the Wellcome Trust, joining UCL for the latter in 2014. I became Professor of Psychiatric and Social Epidemiology at UCL in 2021.
