Biography
Dr. Jessie Baldwin is a senior research fellow funded by the Wellcome Trust. She completed her PhD at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Neuroscience, King's College London, before moving to University College London. Dr. Baldwin's research aims to understand the role of adverse childhood experiences in mental health. As part of her Sir Henry Wellcome Fellowship, she is investigating the extent to which adverse childhood experience cause mental health problems. This involves using causal inference methods to disentangle the effects of adversities from other genetic and environmental risk factors. I have experience in family designs (e.g., twin-based methods), polygenic scoring, and statistical approaches (e.g., propensity score matching).
