About us
Welcome to the PIXIE Lab - a team based at the IoPPN, King’s College London. Our Laboratory focuses on the interaction between biological and psychosocial risk factors in the development of psychiatric disorders. Specifically, we study the role of inflammation, cortisol, and other hormones and their interaction with stressful experiences in early life in the development of depression and psychosis in both adolescents and adults. Our aim is to develop personalised and more effective prevention and treatment strategies for psychiatric disorders, guided by biomarker and psychosocial factors profiles.
