Welcome to the third and final episode of the 2024 IoPPN Research Festival podcast. Every year the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience hosts a 1 day festival that brings together a really diverse mix of mental health scientists, to present their work and learn from each other.
The theme this year is Origins and New Beginnings. Alongside the keynote talks from Melanie Abas, Emily Simonoff and Edgar Jones, there will be 21 lightning talks from some of the institute's top researchers, staff and students.
In this third podcast episode, we meet Melanie Amna Abas, Professor of Global Mental Health at King's College London. She's a psychiatric epidemiologist and a psychiatrist who cares for people in South London but also in Zimbabwe where she has worked clinically and as a researcher for many years. Her early research in Zimbabwe looked at the social origins of depression in women, and from there she has gone on to conduct interdisciplinary epidemiological research in other countries including Thailand, Moldova & Sri Lanka.
Her talk at the festival focuses on Global mental health and the ambition to end HIV/AIDS. You can hear more from Prof Abas at the 2024 IoPPN Research Festival, taking place on 15th May 2024: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ioppn-research-festival--tickets-856888826547?aff=oddtdtcreator Hosted on Acast.
