TEAM LITHIUM 

 

 

The Team

 

 

Dr David Cousins

Dr Cousins is an MRC Clinician Scientist and Consultant Psychiatrist working in the field of academic psychiatry. His research is focussed on lithium and aims to integrate various approaches to better understand its effect on the brain.

 

Dr Fiona Smith

Dr Smith is a core physicist at our research centre and is principally involved in the development of lithium magnetic resonance spectroscopy.   

 

Dr Richard McQuade

Dr McQuade is our link to the basic sciences, helping us understand lithium's behavioual effects at a cellular level.

 

Carly Bennett

Carly is one of the newest additions to Team Lithium. A Research Assistant with a background in neuropsychological assessment and administration, she's involved with recruiting and screening potential participants (and managing the website!).

 

The Scanners...

Carol Smith and Louise Morris are our two senior radiographers. They keep us in order on the days we are scanning, and also on the days we aren't. Louise is to blame for the name Team Lithium.

 

We also have several collaborations, both nationally and internationally.
