Biography
I joined the Social, Genetic and Developmental Psychiatry Centre, part of the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King’s College London in 2012 as a 1+3 MSc+PhD student, supervised by Thalia Eley and Gerome Breen. Following the completion of my PhD, I joined Prof Breen’s research group as a postdoctoral researcher. I apply methods from statistical genetics and genetic epidemiology to study psychiatric disorders, particularly major depressive disorder and its correlates. I also continue to work with Prof Eley’s group, continuing our research into response to cognitive behavioural therapy. I have also worked extensively with international collaborators in the Psychiatric Genetics Consortium, contributing analyses to large-scale meta-analyses of major depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder and anorexia nervosa.
