I was a Senior Clinical Research Associate working with Prof. Paul Fletcher till September 2022. I am currently an Honorary Visiting Senior Fellow in the department of Psychiatry and remain a member of the Fletcher lab. My current work (led by Charley Peiztmeier and Farah Hina) looks at psychosis in borderline personality disorder and interoception in health-related behaviours. My previous work has examined the role of brain reward systems using pharmacological fMRI and behavioural measures, to study the role of environmental influences and opioid and dopaminergic systems in controlling food reward processing and eating behaviour. I have also been involved in research into the brain and endocrine mechanisms of eating disorders, led by Dr Margaret Westwater. I was an honorary consultant psychiatrist working with the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Foundation Trust (CPFT) in the CAMEO Early Intervention in Psychosis service from December 2017 till September 2022 and currently work in the South Metropolitan Health Service in WA as a consultant psychiatrist.
