Sophia Frangou (Greek: Σοφία Φράγκου) is a professor of psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai where she heads the Psychosis Research Program.
Between 1997 and 2013 she worked as a Consultant Psychiatrist at the Maudsley Hospital[4] and led her own research group[5] at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King's College London.
Frangou's research focuses on the pathophysiological processes underlying psychosis, with emphasis on schizophrenia and bipolar disorder using clinical, genetic, cognitive and neuroimaging techniques.
Her key contributions in the field relate to the neuroimaging correlates of disease risk, expression and resilience and on the functional impact of susceptibility genes for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder on brain structure, connectivity and plasticity.
In parallel Frangou is also interested in the standardisation of neuroimaging measures to capture normal variation across the lifespan and to guide diagnosis, prognosis and treatment response.
