Register for 'ask the expert' webinar on anxiety
The public are invited to a webinar to ask questions of a leading specialist about the latest research into anxiety.
Professor Thalia Eley will take questions in a live ‘ask the expert’ event hosted by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). It takes place online on Wednesday 5 June from 7pm to 8pm (GMT).
Thalia is Professor of Developmental Behavioural Genetics at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King’s College London, and co-lead of the Genetic Links to Anxiety and Depression (GLAD) Study.
She also runs the EDIT lab, a group of researchers focusing on what factors may influence why people respond differently to life’s experiences. Specifically, she is interested in exploring which psychological treatments work best for different individuals and whether their genetics may play a part in how people respond.
