Michael BloomfieldPrincipal Clinical Research Fellow,听Division of Psychiatry Dr Bloomfield's work seeks to understand the mechanisms underlying how exposure to risk factors for mental illness during childhood and adolescence alter adult brain and cognitive function to give rise to mental illnesses so that new treatment and preventative interventions can be developed.听 He has been awarded an Excellence Fellowship from 果冻影院, the British Medical Association's Margaret Temple Award for schizophrenia research, the British Association of Psychopharmaocology's BAP Award for Junior Clinical Psychopharmacologist of the Year and the Royal College of Psychiatrists Trainee of the Year award.听 In addition he has received young investigator awards from the European College of Neuropsychopharmocology, the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology and major international research societies.

Elvira BramonProfessor of Neuroscience and Mental Health,听Division of Psychiatry I鈥檓 interested in biological markers of brain function and structure that can be used to characterise psychosis. In particular, I have expertise in using EEG techniques like evoked potentials and quantitative EEG and have also worked with structural imaging and cognitive biomarkers for psychosis.

Glyn LewisProfessor of Epidemiological Psychiatry,听Division of Psychiatry I am interested in investigating the causes of psychiatric disorder, particularly depressive illness and psychosis. Causal factors that are potentially preventable could be especially useful but clues to aetiology also can improve our understanding of illness and help to devise treatments. I also carry out randomised controlled trials to evaluate treatments for depression in primary care. I aim to carry out research that has practical implications in improving clinical care of people with psychiatric disorder. I want to identify those advances in our neuroscientific understanding that could lead to practicable benefits for patients.

Andrew MacAskillSir Henry Dale听Fellow,听Division of Biosciences We are working to understand how neurons in the brain communicate with each other to allow them to encode emotional behaviours and make decisions. Problems with this communication underlie the vast majority of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases, and so our aim is to find novel ways to combat these diseases by gaining a greater understanding of the processes that they destroy.听听 Other research interests include Children and Young People's Mental Health听触听Mood Disorders听触听Neuroscience听触听Substance Abuse |

Kate MerrittResearch Fellow,听Division of Psychiatry My research interest is neuroimaging biomarkers of schizophrenia and psychosis. My previous work examined 1H-MRS measures of glutamate in the brain, and their relationship with treatment response in schizophrenia. My current work characterises the neurodevelopmental trajectories of psychotic experiences, and how social risk factors impact brain development to cause psychotic experiences.

Oliver RobinsonICN Group Leader,听Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience We try to better understand anxiety disorders and 'normal' adaptive anxiety and how they relate. We use threat of shock, functional magnetic resonance imaging, computational psychiatry, psychotherapy and psychopharmacology techniques. We ultimately want to improve outcomes for sufferers of anxiety.

Jonathan RogersWellcome Trust Clinical PhD Fellow,听Division of Psychiatry Jonathan Rogers is a researcher in the 果冻影院 Division of Psychiatry specialising in neuropsychiatric disorders, and particularly catatonia. His current research involves investigating the neurobiology of catatonia using epidemiological, neuroimmunological and neuroimaging techniques.听He is also interested in psychopharmacology and the psychiatry of COVID-19.听 Other research interests include |
Jonathan RoiserProfessor of Neuroscience and Mental Health,听Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience Our aim is to understand the neural and cognitive mechanisms underlying symptoms of mental illness, especially those relating to motivation. We utilise experimental techniques drawn from cognitive psychology, functional neuroimaging, psychopharmacology, and computational modelling, both in patient populations and healthy volunteers.

Argyris StringarisProfessor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry,听Division of Psychiatry Professor Stringaris is the Chair in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry with the Division of Psychiatry and the Psychology and Language Sciences Department at 果冻影院.听He was until recently Senior Investigator and Chief of the Section of Clinical and Computational Psychiatry at NIMH/NIH in the USA and before that a Senior Lecturer and Wellcome Trust Fellow at the Institute of Psychiatry Psychology and Neuroscience, King's College London. He trained at the Maudsley Hospital. He is a Clinician Scientist working to understand mood and the mechanisms that lead to听depression and severe irritability (emotion dysregulation). He is studying how negative mood states arise and are maintained in the brain. He and his team use a broad range of methodologies stretching from computational modelling to clinical observation and randomised听controlled trials in pursuit of understanding about mood. His latest work is about mood changes in the absence of events (Passage of Time Dysphoria) and about why humans may seek negative emotional states (i.e. choose not to be happiness maximisers at least for discrete time periods). He is collaborating broadly across the natural sciences (with engineers, physicists and mathematicians) and the humanities (historians and philosophers of emotions).听Clinically, he is treating young people with mental illness, particularly those with severe anxiety and depression.
