About
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Stress Psychiatry and Immunology (SPI) Lab at King’s College London, currently working on two projects looking at biological and psychological factors linked with depression in adolescents and adults.
Having graduated in psychology, I have always felt passionate about trying to understand why we experience depression, from a holistic perspective. To consolidate my vision, I have pursued and completed a PhD in Psychological Medicine at King’s College London which allowed me to integrate medicine and psychology into my research.
In my blogs, I would like to share my passion and make science as accessible to everyone as it should be!

Early Depression Risk: How biology and experience shape teen mental health
Back in 2023, we published a scientific article, along with a blog version, showing that the body’s immune response is linked to adolescent depression, and that these biological signals look different in boys and girls. We ended by asking whether bringing together what we know about adolescents’ backgrounds and their biology could help us identify who is at risk of developing depression. And here we are today, trying to answer that very question.
