| | | | Research Interests | |
| My research interests in cognitive neuropsychiatry focus on determining the causes and consequences of cognitive and emotion processing disturbances in severe psychiatric conditions. This includes investigations of (1) the genetic basis of cognitive and emotional endophenotypes for mood and psychotic disorders, (2) emotion regulation disturbances in mood, psychotic, and personality disorders, and (3) the development of emotion regulation capacities in adolescence, with relevance to the early onset of mood and psychotic conditions. These projects are conducted in collaboration with UNSW staff at the Prince of Wales Medical Research Institute and the School of Psychology, and with the Eastern Suburbs Mental Health Service. External collaborators at the University of Leiden (The Netherlands) and the University of Melbourne (Melbourne Neuropsychiatry Centre and Orygen Youth Health) contribute to various components of the research. In addition, collaborative work with researchers at the Macquarie Centre for Cognitive Science (Macquarie University) is concerned with the remediation of emotion processing difficulties in psychotic disorders.
