Professor Marianne van den Brie

Professor of Psychological Medicine, Cardiff University

Professor van den Bree investigates how genes and life experiences influence mental health across the lifespan. This includes how mental and physical health interact. She studies large groups of people, including those with rare genetic mutations that increase risk of learning and mental health difficulties.

She collaborates with experts across fields and works closely with communities and stakeholders to ensure her findings benefit real-world health and wellbeing.
