In March Dr Leticia Gutierrez-Galve (Koplowitz Fellow) won the Association for Child and Adolescent Mental Health (ACAMH) Annual Poster Prize for her poster entitled ‘Mediators and moderators of the association between paternal depression in the postnatal period and child development’.

As well as an Honorary Special Registrar in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Leticia has been a Koplowitz Fellow in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the College since September 2012. She completed her psychiatry training at the Hospital Clinico Universitario de Zaragoza (Spain) in 2007. Subsequently, from 2007 to 2010 she worked at UCL Institute of Neurology where her research focused on the cortical abnormalities present in neuropsychiatric disorders and their associations with clinical and neurocognitive data. Four research papers resulting from this research have formed the basis of her European PhD.

Leticia’s current research at the College falls under the supervision of Dr Paul Ramchandani and focuses on the influence of paternal depression on children’s early development.
