The IoMH brings together the UCL mental health community spread across UCL’s eleven faculties. Our Directory of affiliates has over 40 affiliates with research expertise in a variety of areas of mental health.
Our Special Interest Group Meetings will be a forum for discussion and exchange of ideas, to encourage interdisciplinary thinking and foster scientific collaborations in mental health research.
The first event of this kind, under the theme 'Mechanistic Insights into Mental Health Dysfunction' will bring together the perspectives of neuroscientists and mental health communities. Speakers will showcase examples of neuroscience-based approaches that have shed light on the biology of mental disorders and will also discuss important questions and evidence gaps that may be potential avenues of research going forward.
The event will also include an introduction to the IoMH small grants scheme, which this year will have ‘understanding the mechanisms underlying mental health dysfunction’ as a priority topic.
This event will be held via Zoom. Please register on Eventbrite.
