The Department has received the highest possible rating in the UK Research Assessment Exercise (5*and 4*) in the last 2 reviews 2001 and 2008, and attracts students and staff from all over the world. It currently holds approximately £15million of research grant income, and collectively the department produced over 400 publications and 15 books in the last 5 years.
The Department has extensive collaborative links with other centres worldwide. The EU-GEI and OPTiMiSE Studies involve collaboration with several research centres across Europe and in Australia. The AESOP Study is being carried out in collaboration with the Universities of Cambridge, Nottingham and Bristol. Neuroimaging work in subjects with prodromal symptoms is being conducted in collaboration with Imperial College, and the Universities of Cambridge and Warwick in the UK, and with the European At Risk Network, in the rest of Europe.
The research carried out by the Department is focused on understanding the causes of psychosis and the mechanisms underlying psychosis, and includes work on all forms of psychosis, including subclinical symptoms, high risk groups, and schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The direct integration of this research activity with high quality clinical services for psychosis ensures that clinical practice is informed by the latest research findings, and that research and teaching reflect current clinical priorities. The overall research approach within the department is multidisciplinary, with an emphasis on the integration of data across different research modalities, including neuroimaging, electrophysiology, genetics, epidemiology, psychopathology, cognition, endocrinology, and psychopharmacology. The department comprises around 100 staff, and is one of the largest groups conducting research on psychosis in the world.
