Rate My Professor Graeme Fairchild

Fairchild's research has been funded by the European Commission, Medical Research Council, Economic and Social Research Council, Wellcome Trust, British Academy, and Kids Company. Major projects include the multi-site FemNAT-CD study across several European countries to understand the causes of sex differences in antisocial behaviour in children and adolescents, and the English and Romanian Adoptees’ Brain Imaging Study (ERABIS), which investigates the long-term consequences of institutional deprivation on brain development, activity, connectivity, and mechanisms of resilience. Key publications include 'Dimensional Associations Between Conduct Problems and Brain Structure Across 18 International Cohorts in ENIGMA' (2026, Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry), 'Altered Neural Responses to Punishment Learning in Conduct Disorder' (2025, Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging), 'Associations between childhood trauma and adolescent psychiatric disorders in Brazil: a longitudinal, population-based birth cohort study' (2025, The Lancet Global Health), 'Beyond hostility: exploring facial emotion recognition biases in youths with conduct disorder' (2025, European Child and Adolescent Psychiatry), and 'Biological pathways underlying the relationship between childhood maltreatment and Multimorbidity: A two-step, multivariable Mendelian randomisation study' (2025, Brain Behavior and Immunity). He accepts doctoral students in these research areas.
