About the CSI Lab

The CSI Lab is a collaboration hub for researchers and clinicians from around the world who investigate the cognitive processes and neural networks involved in all psychiatric illness. The primary research areas of the lab are Cognition, Schizophrenia and Imaging. We aim to use the results of our research to help develop new and effective treatments, and to improve services, and the organisations that deliver them.

The Lab was founded, and is led by, Professor Sukhi Shergill, whose primary research interest is investigating the brain mechanisms involved in the symptoms of schizophrenia, and developing novel ways of ameliorating the difficulties that people often experience because of ongoing ‘negative’ symptoms that affect memory, attention and cognition.

Researchers across the CSI Lab are now applying their expertise and knowledge gained to research disordered cognitive processes in other psychiatric illness. We are interested in understanding the cognitive processes and neural networks involved in all mental health problems.

He is professor of psychiatry at Kent and Medway Medical School; director of research and honorary consultant at Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust; and professor of psychiatry and systems neuroscience at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, King’s College London.

Are you a researcher, mental health professional or student who is interested in collaborating with members of the CSI Lab, or working on a pertinent project? Contact us. We hold regular Lab meetings for our collaborators to discuss ongoing research and new ideas: the meetings can be attended virtually or in person.
