DrLisa Mundy

I have a background in developmental psychology and experience working in the field of lifecourse epidemiology. I have experience in developing strategies for participant and community engagement, and translating research outcomes into service delivery improvements. My primary research focus is on understanding the psychological, behavioural and biological underpinnings of mental health problems, with the ultimate goal of developing novel approaches to prevention and intervention. I also have a particular interest in developmental transitions and specifically the transition from childhood to adolescence. My work also has a large focus on the interface between health and education.

I have extensive experience leading longitudinal cohort studies. I am currently leading the Australian Temperament Project (ATP). Prior to this, as Program Lead at the Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS), I led the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) including content development, methodology, data management, analysis and publications for the study. I have also been involved in a number of other studies in Australia and the UK.
