Valmaggia, MSc., Ph.D. (Young Investigator 2008) of Institute of Psychiatry/King's College London/University of London, will look at the impact the early adverse experiences have on the vulnerability to psychosis. The main objective of the present proposal is to examine the effect of social stress on biology and symptoms in individuals at high risk of psychosis using state of the art methods. This will be the largest study linking social and biological factors in a population at risk of developing psychosis, thereby providing new insights into the illness.
