Edmund Sonuga-Barke: RE-STAR - multidisciplinary adventure in participatory translational science
Manage episode 475835074 series 1111428
Welcome to the 2025 IoPPN Research Festival Podcast! In this first episode, we hear from Professor Edmund Sonuga-Barke, a leading expert in developmental psychology at King’s College London. He introduces RE-STAR—a four-year, interdisciplinary research programme.
RE-STAR stands for Regulating Emotions – Strengthening Adolescent Resilience. It focuses on neurodivergent young people, such as those with ADHD or autistic traits, who are at higher risk of developing depression during adolescence.
Right now, we don’t fully understand:
• Who is most at risk,
• What factors increase that risk,
• Or the best ways to build resilience and reduce it.
RE-STAR aims to fill these gaps by studying how ADHD and/or autism traits, environmental stress, and emotional responses interact to shape the risk of depression in neurodivergent young people.
