Biography
Dr Valeria Parlatini was awarded a scholarship to attend medical school at the prestigious San Raffaele University (Italy), where she graduated with honours (MD) and became consultant in medical psychotherapy (dual training psychiatry/psychotherapy). She then moved to the UK, where she completed an MSc in Neuroscience and a PhD in Biological Psychiatry (King’s College London). During her PhD, she investigated predictors of treatment response in adult ADHD, focusing primarily on neuroimaging techniques. As an appreciation of her research, she received three international awards, including the Young Scientists Award at the World Congress on ADHD. She also completed additional clinical training at the Maudsley Hospital, including an NIHR Academic Clinical Fellowship (ACF) and Academic Clinical Lectureship (ACL). During her clinical lectureship at King’s College London and Maudsley Hospital, she was awarded the Academy of Medical Sciences Starter Grant to conduct epidemiology research on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of children with pre-existing mental health conditions. She recently joined the University of Southampton as an Associate Professor and honorary consultant to continue advancing her research on ADHD.
