Biography
Dr. Culpin shares her time between Bristol University as a Research Fellow and Manchester Metropolitan University as a Senior Lecturer in Psychology. Her research is broadly focused on family and environmental factors that increase risk of depression in children and young people, including family structure, parental mental health, parenting, parent-child relationship, and socio-economic circumstances. Dr. Culpin is currently working on a Wellcome Trust funded programme of research to understand transmission of mental health risks in families and gaining insight into mechanisms (e.g., parent-child relationship) that underlie increased risk of adverse development in children of parents with mental health difficulties.
