About us
The Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King’s College London is Europe’s largest centre for research and education in psychiatry, psychology, and basic and clinical neuroscience. It produces more highly cited outputs (top 1% citations) on psychiatry and mental health than any other centre (SciVal 2021), and on this metric has risen from 16th (2014) to 4th (2021) in the world for highly cited neuroscience outputs. In the 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF), 90% of research at the IoPPN was deemed ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ (3* and 4*). World-leading research from the IoPPN has made, and continues to make, an impact on how we understand, prevent and treat mental illness, neurological conditions, and other conditions that affect the brain.

Dr Lauren Heathcote, PhD and Dr Gemma Knowles have both awarded Wellcome Trust Mental Health Awards for new research to understand #anxiety and #trauma. Dr Lauren Heathcote and her team will investigate the mental health consequences of post-cancer survival, and how we can reduce post-cancer anxiety, in collaboration with UCL, Stanford University School of Medicine, and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in the USA. Dr Gemma Knowles (ESRC Centre for Society and Mental Health) will focus on how the mechanisms in biological sex and sexism causes anxiety and depression to develop and persist in teenage girls and young women, in collaboration with Dr Atsushi Nishida, Director for the Center of Social Science and Medicine at theTokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science.

Huge congratulations to Dr Julian Mutz, Dr Divyangana R. and Dr Frederike Winkel who have all been awarded Brain & Behavior Research Foundation (BBRF) 2024 NARSAD Young Investigator Grants!👏 Dr Mutz will investigate how accelerated biological aging impacts the development of age-related diseases like heart disease, which is more common among people with mental health disorders. Read his NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) blog on the topic here 👉https://lnkd.in/eaYg7JEB Dr Rakesh will investigate the links between low socioeconomic status and psychopathology in adolescents, unpicking the influences on pubertal & brain development. She will also identify factors in the home, school and neighbourhood that can buffer these negative effects. Dr Winkel will use mouse models to investigate the mechanisms that drive the onset of schizophrenia and the connection between different brain circuitries to inform the development of new treatments. #HeartDisease #Aging #SocioeconomicStatus #Poverty #Puberty #BrainDevelopment #Schizophrenia #Neuroscience | Social, Genetic & Developmental Psychiatry Centre
