Jack is an Associate Professor in Neuroscience and Mental Health based at the Institute for Mental Health, School of Psychology, at the University of Birmingham. Jack and his group are particularly interested in how environmental and biological measures can help identify individuals who are at increased risk for developing psychosis, and early outcomes after psychosis has occurred.
