I am co-director of the NORMENT Centre and head of the Centre's "Illness trajectories and outcome prediction" research group. My current research is focused on:
Mechanisms associated with environmental risk factors, gene x environment interactions: early trauma, migration and cannabis.
Early illness phases in psychotic- and bipolar disorders, with a particular focus on negative symptoms and treatment response.
Risk factors for the development of chronic illness and premature death, in particular suicide risk.
