De Montfort University, Division of Psychology has a range of ambitious studies, expertise, facilities and current plans for SCAN research
The focus of current research is on understanding the mechanistic interplay between the social, cognitive, affective, and neurocognitive factors implicated in the manifestation of affective trairs and disorders, especially in relation to depression and anxiety. A common goal across our research is to understand how environmental and individual factors interact throughout the lifespan to increase risk for poor outcomes or promote resilience.
Our research uses different scientific approaches such as clinical interviews, cognitive testing, psychophysiology, genetics and neuroimaging genetics. We collaborate with clinicians, and various institutions to inform the focus of our research as well as to increase its potential translational and policy impact.
