I work as a liaison psychiatrist at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in central London. I have a special interest in older people's mental health and dementia. I have also been very involved in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education, curriculum development with Imperial College, where I work as a clinical lecturer and module development lead and I have a Masters degree in education. I am really keen to make links with colleagues from across Europe and hope that my membership of the EPA will help me continue this!

Pierre J. Magistretti, received his MD in 1979 from the University of Geneva and his PhD in Biology in 1982 from UCSD. He is a Distinguished Professor and Director of the KAUST Smart Health Institute. He was Dean of the Division of Biological and Environmental Sciences and Engineering at KAUST (Jan 2012-August 2020), Professor Emeritus at the Brain Mind Institute at EPFL and at the Department of Psychiatry at UNIL/CHUV. Pierre J. Magistretti’s laboratory has discovered some of the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie the coupling between neuronal activity and energy consumption by revealing the key role that glial cells, in particular astrocytes, play in this physiological process. These findings are particularly relevant for understanding the origin of the signals detected by functional brain imaging, and are revealing a role of astrocytes in neuronal plasticity and neuroprotection. He is the author of over 240 publications in international peer-reviewed journals and has given over 70 invited lectures during the past five years. He has been elected at the International Chair 2007-2008 of the Collège de France, Paris. He is member of Academia Europae and of the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences.
