People & Partnerships
MINDSET brings together researchers, trainees, NHS and public-sector data partners, treatment services, and collaborating academic groups around a shared aim: understanding how mental health develops by drawing credible, useful, and responsible inferences from heterogeneous evidence across levels, settings, and timescales.
Different projects draw on combinations of epidemiology, data science, lived-experience expertise, clinical and service knowledge, population and environmental data, intensive longitudinal measurement, biological science, and research infrastructure. The people and organisations below reflect active or longstanding relationships; no single project or partner is expected to cover every part of the programme.

I also contribute to doctoral supervision, thesis committees, and wider trainee development. See Teaching & Supervision for the broader training programme.
The MINDSET research ecosystem
Many partners contribute across more than one area of the programme.
Following mental health across systems and populations
National administrative, longitudinal, environmental, and spatial data; population data science; linkage; and infrastructure for studying trajectories and inequalities at scale.
Turning routinely collected records into research evidence
Electronic health records, clinical text, governed data access, harmonisation, and methods for research across mental-health services.
Connecting mechanisms, context, and measurement
Intensive longitudinal and lived-experience measures, social and environmental context, biomarkers and immunology, neuroimaging, causal inference, systems thinking, prediction, and inequalities.
Keeping research connected to lived and living experience, care, and decision-making
Lived- and living-experience expertise, treatment-provider expertise, public involvement, service context, and partnerships that help make questions and interpretation useful beyond academia.
