Interests
My research programme aims to understand transdiagnostic mechanisms underlying emerging developmental conditions and co-occurring mental health, through the integration of experimental methods with large-scale data. In particular, I am interested in identifying and testing modifiable environmental factors as potential intervention targets. My research vision is to build an evidence base which can inform more personalised treatment and guidelines, based on individual developmental profiles.I lead the Queen Mary Child Development Lab: https://www.seresearch.qmul.ac.uk/cbb/research/wellbeing/...
