I am a Professor of Psychobiology & Epidemiology and Head of the Social Biobehavioural Research Group at UCL. My research focuses on the effects of social connections and behaviours on health, including social deficits (e.g. loneliness and social isolation) and social assets (e.g. community engagement, arts & cultural activities, and social prescribing). I am the author of "Art Cure". I am a 2018 Philip Leverhulme Prize Winner.
