PROFESSOR MARY CANNON
MB BCh BAO, FRCPsych, MSc, PhD
Mary is a Consultant Psychiatrist and Professor of Psychiatric Research in the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. She is a prominent and influential international researcher in the fields of psychosis and youth mental health research. Her work focuses on identifying young people who might be at risk of developing serious mental health difficulties to help guide early interventions with those young people at highest risk. She is one of the first researchers to have identified early psychotic-like experiences as one such risk marker.
Through the iHEAR study, Mary aims to expand and integrate new knowledge about the nature and significance of psychotic-like experiences from across the fields of social science, epidemiology and neuroscience.
