Wellcome Trust (Research Lead)

I am currently a Research Lead in the Mental Health team at Wellcome. I am working on various projects to improve the data that will help us gain a better understanding of mental health conditions, as well as broader strengthening of the research ecosystem. Before joining Wellcome in 2023, I spent more than 15 years in academic neuroscience research as a PhD student (Oxford, UK) and postdoctoral researcher (King's College London, UK).
