Dr Paul Ramchandani
Reader in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
Paul is Reader in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Imperial College, London. He also works clinically as a consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist in a busy clinic in Central London. Prior to 2012 he worked for more than 10 years in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Oxford. He qualified in medicine, and subsequently trained in New Zealand, Leeds and Oxford. Along the way he completed a Masters degree in Public Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and a doctorate (DPhil) in Oxford.
Paul's research investigates the links between parents' and children's health, particularly focusing on the influence of parental depression and anxiety and the risks for the early development of these problems in children. This work has been funded by the Wellcome Trust, Medical Research Council, and NIHR.
There are two particular strands to the work. One component is concerned particularly with the role of fathers in children's early development, and the second has a focus on the role of stress and depression in pregnancy. Much of this work is based in Oxford, but there are also collaborations with research teams on two large cohort studies in Bristol and Soweto, South Africa.
