Prof. Eamon McCrory

Professor of Developmental Neuroscience and Psychopathology: UCL and Anna Freud

Eamon McCrory is Professor of Developmental Neuroscience and Psychopathology at UCL where he co-directs the Developmental Risk and Resilience Unit. He is also Co-Director of Education and Training at Anna Freud and adjunct Professor at Yale University. Eamon also co-founded the UK Trauma Council (https://uktraumacouncil.org) which creates and disseminates resources to support those working with children and young people who have experienced trauma.

Eamon’s research uses brain imaging and psychological approaches to investigate the impact of trauma and adversity on children’s mental health. He is particularly interested in how research can help inform the prevention of future mental health problems and how latent vulnerability following adversity may be mediated by altered pathways of brain and social development.
