Janet Treasure OBE, PhD, FRCP, FRCPsych, King鈥檚 College London, United Kingdom

Janet is a Professor at King鈥檚 College London and a Consultant Psychiatrist at the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. She has been involved in the training of medical practitioners, psychologists, and clinical academics. A key focus of her research has been working with people with lived experience of an eating disorder (patients and carers) to co-design and co-develop and co-deliver new treatments with a particular focus on people with a severe enduring illness or comorbidities such as diabetes. She has had a particular interest in the biological, psychological and social risk, and maintaining factors, and how these may be targeted in treatment. This has led to the development of MANTRA and ECHO, and their various adaptations in an international programme of research and development. She has co-authored with people with lived experience several academic and self-help texts on eating disorders which have been translated in several languages. In 2024 she was a guest on the BBC radio 4 programme 鈥淭he life scientific鈥� and has received numerous awards for her work.
