Dr. John Tully
Dr. John Tully is a clinical academic in forensic psychiatry. His main research interest is the neuroscience of antisocial personality and psychopathy. John completed his medical training and core psychiatric training in Ireland and is higher training in forensic psychiatry as an NIHR Academic Clinical Fellow at South London and Maudsley Foundation Trust and the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience.
He completed a Wellcome Clinical Research Training Fellowship to obtain a PhD in the neurochemistry of antisocial personality disorder and psychopathy, using pharmacoimaging (oxytocin and fMRI) and MRS. He now co-chairs the Forensic Research Nottingham research group at Institute of Mental Health (University of Nottingham/Notts Healthcare Trust) and also leads on clinical research projects in forensic psychiatry.
Dr Eleanor Hind
Most violent crime is committed by men with antisocial personality disorder, with or without psychopathy. This has enormous human and economic costs, but effective treatment approaches are limited. One pathway to developing effective interventions is developing a mechanistic understanding of the neural basis to these disorders, particularly in relation to deficits in empathy and decision making.
This webinar will outline the current state of play in forensic neuroscience. It will discuss pharmacoimaging approaches, including serotonergic strategies and novel investigative probes (e.g. OPM-MEG and 7T MRS), with implications for future treatments in antisocial populations.

Research can transform lives. We want to support discoveries about what helps people with mental disorder who have been victims of criminal behaviour, or perpetrators of criminal behaviour, and their families, and the clinicians and others who treat them and, indeed, the wider community when its members are in contact with these problems. More effective prevention is the ideal, when this is not possible, we need more effective, evidenced interventions for recovery and restoration of safety.
