The impact and management of chronic stress and the David Waxman memorial lecture

Angela is trained in neuroscience and psychology and enjoys working at the interface of these disciplines; exploring how mind-body links affect physical and mental health.
For her PhD (Institute of Psychiatry, London), she investigated the mechanism of action of antipsychotic drugs. During her post-doctoral studies (Royal Postgraduate Medical School, London) she researched the biochemistry of addiction and stress. In 1989, she joined the University of Westminster where she became a founder member of the interdisciplinary Psychophysiology and Stress Research Group.
Currently, she investigates the impact of environmental and psychosocial stress on the circadian pattern of cortisol secretion and consequent health outcomes. She also has an interest in evaluating strategies to reverse the negative impact of stress on health.
Angela has published over 150 peer-reviewed papers, 5 books, and 30 book chapters or reviews. She is a UK National Teaching Fellow and a frequent public speaker.   

Following a PhD on the psychophysiology of schizophrenia at Birkbeck, and schizophrenia research at University College Hospital, John Gruzelier established a psychophysiology laboratory in 1975 on the Charing Cross Hospital campus, which later emerged with the Imperial College medical faculty, joining Goldsmiths in 2005. Research interests also include hypnosis, topographical EEG, neurofeedback, and performing arts.

Gruzelier has over 400 journal and book publications, with more than 13,600 citations, which you can see here. His European grant sources have included the Medical Research Council (MRC), EU 6th Framework and Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST), Decision Resources Group (DRG), Wellcome, Mental Health Foundation (MHF), Nesta, Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), and SANE. He was a co-editor of the International Journal of Psychophysiology, 1984-2004, edited Contemporary Hypnosis and Integrative Therapy, 2001-2012, and established the Society of Applied Neuroscience in 2002. He is a member of the Tate Patron Executive Committee, and a trustee of the charity MASK.
