Research Overview

• My research priorities are in molecular psychiatry and neuro-psychopharmacology

  1. I use post-mortem human brain samples to investigate molecular changes that occur in psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and depression. I have a particular interest in the glutamatergic neurotransmission system in psychiatric disorders.

  2. I use animal models to investigate molecular changes that occur in the brain throughout normal brain development and how these neurodevelopmental molecular profiles change in animal models of  depression. I have a particular interest in the neurobiology of depression in special populations including pregnancy/postnatal and ageing and understanding the molecular mechanisms of treatments in these populations (including the impact of fetal exposure).

  3. I investigate the effects of current and novel antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs on brain molecules with a particular interest in how exposure to these drugs during the neonatal and adolescent periods, affects continued development of the brain and risk of developing subsequent psychiatric disorders.
