I use MRI as a tool to link brain and behaviour in people with conditions such as ASD. My research agenda is informed by the patients with neurodevelopmental disorders that I see in the National ADHD and Autism Service for Adults at the Maudsley Hospital.As Head of Research within the Behavioural Developmental Psychiatry (BDP) Clinical Academic Group (CAG) of South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, I aim to fully integrate research into neurodevelopmental disorders such as ASD with clinical practice.

To develop and evaluate novel diagnostic and treatment response prediction toolsIII.To advance new strategies (including pharmacological) for intervention and prevention
