Research interests (short)
I am currently in the final year of my PhD, in which I am investigating how genetic, clinical and sociodemographic factors predict outcomes following psychological therapies for adult depression and anxiety disorders. I am particularly interested in the interplay between psychiatric symptoms and social/occupational functioning. I employ a range of analytical methods, including statistical genetic techniques such as genome-wide association and polygenic risk scores, and structural equation modelling for phenotypic data. I am currently working on several projects, each using a different dataset: the UK Biobank population cohort, the Genetic Links to Anxiety and Depression (GLAD) Study, and patient data from the NHS “Improving Access to Psychological Therapies” (IAPT) programme.
