Elizabeth has recently completed her D.Phil at the University of Oxford, Department of Psychiatry. The main focus of her doctoral research was the biological mechanisms by which maternal antenatal depression and anxiety may impact on fetal and infant development. Specifically, Elizabeth investigated whether prenatal depression may be associated with maternal and infant hormonal changes, and also epigenetic modifications of the infants epigenome.
