Maudsley Talks lecture series kicks off with inaugural presentation from Professor Carmine Pariante
On Wednesday 25 February, Professor Carmine Pariante launched Maudsley Talks, a new lecture series designed to showcase world-leading insight, research, and clinical practice.
With more than 100 people in attendance both in person and online, Professor Pariante talked about his research in perinatal psychiatry, the mental health of women during pregnancy and the first year after childbirth.
Drawing on more than two decades of clinical work and research at the Maudsley Hospital and the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King’s College London, Professor Pariante was able to show how stress and depression during the perinatal period have profound effects in the biology and psychology of both the mothers and the children, potentially reaching the next generation in its adulthood.
Speaking after the event Professor Pariante said:
It was amazing to see so much interest in the audience and the questions at the end were focussed and clear and showing so much interest. It’s also such a pleasure to have been chosen as the first, inaugural lecture for Maudsley Talks. Every time, the Trust and IoPPN get together something magic happens and tonight was one of those occasions.
Our next guest speaker will be Professor Lade Smith, Clinical Director of the Forensic Services at South London and Maudsley and President of the Royal College of Psychiatry.
This session on Wednesday 25 March, will be online - please register for an online admissions ticket in order to receive more details on how to join the event over the coming weeks.
The lecture will run from 6pm to approximately 7:30pm and will also include a Q&A section.
