Claudia CooperProfessor of Psychiatry of Older Age,听Division of Psychiatry I am interested in the epidemiology of older people's mental health, happiness and wellbeing, and in the mental health of carers of people with dementia. Other research interests include elder abuse - its epidemiology and prevention; and the provision of quality and equality in dementia care.

David CurtisHonorary Professor,听Division of Biosciences Since 1990 I collaborated with Hugh Gurling at the 宅男视频 Molecular Psychiatry Lab in research aimed at identifying genes affecting risk of mental illness. Initially we carried out linkage studies of families multiply affected with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Subsequently I have been involved in association studies and latterly studies using next generation sequencing data. Throughout this time I have also developed new statistical approaches and have written computer software to carry out genetic analyses. I am currently working on methods for detecting genetic variants affecting risk of complex diseases using large exome-sequenced datasets. Other research interests include |

Rebecca GouldAssociate Professor,听Division of Psychiatry My main research interests are in evaluating psychological interventions such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness-based therapies for: i) older people with mental health conditions (including anxiety and depression); ii) people with neurodegenerative diseases (including dementia and motor neuron disease); iii) carers of people with neurodegenerative diseases; and iv) people with physical health conditions. Other research interests include examining the assessment of frailty in older people with mental health conditions, and evaluating psychological interventions for this population.

Vasiliki OrgetaAssociate Professor,听Division of Psychiatry Dr Vasiliki Orgeta is a research psychologist interested in emotional well-being in people with dementia and their family carers. Her research focuses on the development and evaluation of听 psychological and psychosocial interventions in dementia and mild cognitive impairment. She is also interested in how stress could be influencing risk of dementia and the effect of caregiving on caregivers physical and mental health.

Karin ShmueliAssociate Professor in MRI,听Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering I am interested in developing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques to increase image contrast and resolution by exploiting new contrast mechanisms. The current goal of my research programme is to characterise frequency and susceptibility contrasts and to develop and translate MRI techniques exploiting these mechanisms to improve disease diagnosis and monitoring of therapies. Conventional MRI uses only the signal magnitude, but utilising the frequency (or phase) of the MRI signal has dramatically improved visualisation of tissue structure and can reveal tissue composition. During my previous post at the USA National Institutes of Health, I developed new methods to calculate tissue magnetic susceptibility maps from MRI frequency images. MRI tissue Susceptibility Mapping is an exciting technique and a rapidly growing research area. Together with my research group and collaborators, I now aim to unlock the potential of these MRI frequency and susceptibility methods to generate clinical MRI biomarkers of disease.

Aimee SpectorProfessor of Old Age Psychology,听Division of Psychology and Language Sciences My research broadly听focuses on the development and evaluation of psychosocial interventions and outcome measures for people with dementia. My recent research has taken a more global focus, for example I lead an MRC funded implementation trial of CST in Brazil, India and Tanzania. I work closely with colleagues from Hong Kong University and Peking University through formal strategic partnerships, with several joint projects adapting and evaluating psychosocial interventions for dementia (including digital interventions) and cultural adaptations of outcome measures.听I have developed and published a range of outcome measures including measures of dementia knowledge, sense of competence, hope and resilience, and independence and engagement.

Jean StaffordPostdoctoral Research Fellow, Division of Psychiatry My research is broadly focused on dementia and the mental health of older people. In my PhD, I investigated the incidence of very late-onset psychotic disorders in Swedish register, while during my postdoctoral fellowship I examined associations between psychiatric disorders and subsequent dementia.
