My work varies a lot on the day by day. As it is very multi-disciplinary, and translational I spend a lot of time in meetings with people from different areas such as clinicians (normally psychiatrists or psychologists), maths (statisticians), or biologists (geneticists) etc. If I am not teaching a classroom, I spend time teaching on a 1:1 basis undergraduate or post-graduates projects, or conducting research myself either in the lab or in the computer.
