Consortia partnerships


A large part of our research is embedded in consortia spanning the fields of genetics, epigenetics, early life stress and neuroimaging, including the following:

Identifying causative mechanisms linking early-life stress to psycho-cardio-metabolic multi-morbidity
Understanding and predicting the intergenerational transmission of mental illness
Solving the time puzzle of epigenetic effects on child mental health
Understanding, predicting, and treating depression in pregnancy to improve mothers and offspring mental health outcomes
EArly Genetics and Lifecourse Epidemiology
