Dr Panayiota (Yiota) Michalopoulou is Consultant Psychiatrist at SLaM NHS Foundation Trust with expertise in psychosis. She is MRC-Clinical Research Academic Partnership (CARP) fellow and studies treatment response in psychosis using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in combination with electroencephalography (EEG). She leads the Neuromodulation Academic/Research Group at IoPPN/KCL by bringing together researchers from psychosis, eating disorders, affective disorders, neuropsychiatry, cognitive neuroscience, autism and ADHD, neurology, neurophysiology, and motor disorders interested in neuromodulation research and therapeutics. Dr Michalopoulou works with colleagues towards the development of a Centre for Advanced Neurotherapeutics at IoPPN/SLAM, which will increase translational interdisciplinary research and will accelerate the availability of personalised neurotherapies.

The elucidation of the brain mechanisms and treatment of psychotic symptoms, including neurocognition and social cognition, are her main research interests and she uses clinical, neurophysiological, pharmacological, cognitive training and neuroimaging methods.

Dr Michalopoulou completed her medical studies, psychiatric training and PhD at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece. Following the completion of her studies, she joined the IoPPN as a fellow of the Greek State Scholarships Foundation and this relationship has continued since then.

She is the recipient of research grants and has published her research in peer-reviewed journals. She is keen to contribute to the development of others and supervises PhD, MSc and undergraduate students at the IoPPN.
