The MQ Science council serves as the advisors and decision-makers on MQ’s research. This committee is made up of global experts, from different disciplines, who volunteer their time to advice MQ on their research decisions and investments, and is vital to ensure MQ's research is not only of the highest calibre, but is also independently decided upon.

She has over 25 years of experience across sectors, locally and nationally, delivering interdisciplinary health inequalities research with an emphasis on race at the intersection of other social identities.
MQ Mental Health Research supports ground-breaking scientific research all around the world and across different scientific disciplines. Our Science Council reflects this diversity both by discipline and experience but also by it’s international nature. With the addition of these four, the Science council now boasts 18 members from five continents.
