Janet Treasure, M.D., Ph.D., completed her medical degree and a PhD in Physiology at St. Thomas’ Medical School in London. For much of her career, Dr. Treasure specialized in the treatment of eating disorders at the Maudsley Hospital and in King’s College London. She has carried out extensive research - often collaboratively with patients and carers- which led to a greater understanding of, and better treatments for eating disorders.
Dr. Treasure has trained over 40 PhD students who have implemented various aspects of translational psychiatry as part of their research training. Many of these have progressed to hold important academic and clinical positions in eating disorders. She worked collaboratively with other international centres and has authored over 600 scientific articles.
As well as writing professional texts, Dr. Treasure co-produced self-care interventions (in books and e-health formats) for people affected by eating disorders and their careers and received many awards for her research.
