Marcus Munafo, Professor of Biological Psychology at the University of Bristol is a world leading researcher into genetics and cognitive influences on addictive behaviour. He heads up the Tobacco and Alcohol Research Group, which is part of the MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit in Bristol.

In this podcast, Marcus talks broadly about why genetics is so important for people with mental illness. He presents different kinds of genetics research including the genome-wide association studies that have made such significant breakthroughs in recent years, and the exciting technique called Mendelian randomisation, which helps us to find causal associations in observational data.
