Welcome to the Foldi Lab
We study the biological underpinnings of anorexia nervosa and feeding disorders using cutting-edge behavioural
neuroscience technologies in animal models.

Our research
Anorexia nervosa has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disease, yet available treatments are ineffective, in part due to a lack of understanding of the biological drivers of the condition. Our research aims to uncover the impact of specific genetic, metabolic and neurobiological factors that predispose individuals to pathological body weight loss, with a view to inform the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
