Dr Alexis Cullen is a Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellow and Honorary Lecturer at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, King's College London where she leads the Stress, Inflammation, and Psychosis Study. For past decade, Dr Cullen has been involved in a longitudinal investigation of children at elevated risk for schizophrenia, showing that these children differ from their typically-developing peers in terms of their cognitive abilities, brain structure, and biological response to psychosocial stress. Her current research extends this work by examining biological markers of stress and inflammation across the full spectrum illness, ranging from children at risk for psychosis through to adults with chronic schizophrenia.
