Research Projects - Flint Group

1. Introduction


We are focusing in particular on the origins of stress-related conditions, such as anxiety and depression. These disorders currently have relatively ineffective treatments; they are common, disabling and can be difficult to treat. We have been working on the genetic basis of susceptibility to anxiety and depression for over a decade. Recent scientific advances are making it increasingly possible to analyse the role that specific genes play in psychiatric disorders.
