Funded PhD – The MEME project: Making Exercise interventions More Effective for depression and anxiety.
Across multiple meta-analyses and reviews, exercise is repeatedly shown to improve symptoms of depression and anxiety in both clinical and nonclinical populations1. Read more
Maternal anxiety and language delays in children – both outcomes of the same epigenetic alteration?
Summary. Maternal depression and anxiety are highly common in pregnancy and associated with a negative effect on the child’s social and language skills. Read more
Routine Monitoring of Depression and Anxiety in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
This PhD project is aligned with the ‘Living with Long-Term Conditions’ (LWLTC) research group at the University of Worcester. Read more
The management of young people's mental health in primary care
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, new prescriptions for medication used to treat anxiety and depression were increasing in young people [1, 2]. Read more
Self-funded PhD - Investigation of hypervigilance to threat in the adult rat
There is a strong phylogenetic argument that the brain circuits and mechanisms underlying detection and reactions to threats to survival are well conserved between mammals. Read more
Addressing the Psycho-Emotional Impact of Climate Anxiety on Children and Young People through Illustration
Climate change is contributing to a worldwide increase in physical and mental health needs. There is subsequently a critical bottleneck in supply and demand for mental health services in the UK and further afield, especially for child and adolescent mental health [1]. Read more
Optimising digitally augmented psychological therapies for children and young people through analysis of routinely captured data
Commercial partner: Koa Health. Clinical academics at the University of Oxford have developed and evaluated two digitally augmented psychological therapies that have been recommended in a recent NICE Early Value Assessment for online treatments for child and adolescent anxiety and low mood.

A study of the natural history of joint hypermobility using a population-based birth cohort
People with generalised joint hypermobility (GJH) are described as being ‘double-jointed’ because their joints are more flexible and bendy than other people’s. Read more
Modelling within-individual variability of clinical parameters and investigation of their effects on clinical decision-making
All measured clinical parameters vary within individual the same individual. This variation includes biological variation (chance variation around a physiological mean) and variation in the measurement process (measurement error). Read more

Deficiencies of thyroid hormone are common throughout the globe. Adult-onset hypothyroidism is prevalent in around 8-10% of the population and is associated with reproductive disorders, anxiety, depression and impairment of memory. Read more
Funded PhD – The impact of parental mental health on the neural substrate of early executive function development
In recent years we have made new discoveries in how young children develop executive functions – important skills that allow children to adapt flexibly in their daily lives. Read more
Funded PhD- Linking neuronal function to mental health: How genetic risk factors impair cognitive flexibility and neural plasticity in schizophrenia.
Genetic risk factors for schizophrenia are clustered around genes that regulate synaptic function and adaptation, indicating common disrupted biological processes that underpin the cognitive impairments in memory and flexible learning. Read more
