Oliver Howes is Professor of Molecular Psychiatry at King’s and Imperial Colleges London, Head of the Department of Psychosis Studies, and a Consultant Psychiatrist at the Maudsley Hospital.

He has published over 400 scientific papers and is a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences, recognised as one of the world’s most influential researchers.
