Information:
Stephen is the Director of SMHRN. He holds a personal chair in Psychiatry and Neuro-Imaging and is an Honorary Consultant Psychiatrist at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital. He is Co-chair of the Lothian Joint Formulary.

Research Interests:
His research primarily involves using structural and functional brain imaging to distinguish patients with schizophrenia from their relatives, and from other patients with major psychiatric disorders such as bipolar disorder and autism. As a practising clinician, he is interested in potential clinical applications of brain imaging in psychosis and in the development of novel treatments such as cognitive enhancers that might enhance outcomes in patients with established psychoses and possibly even prevent the onset of psychosis in high risk populations.
