Edmund Sonuga-Barke: RE-STAR - multidisciplinary adventure in participatory translational science

Welcome to the 2025 IoPPN Research Festival Podcast! In this first episode, we hear from Professor Edmund Sonuga-Barke, a leading expert in developmental psychology at King’s College London. He introduces RE-STAR—a four-year, interdisciplinary research programme. RE-STAR stands for Regulating Emotions – Strengthening Adolescent Resilience. It focuses on neurodivergent young people, such as those with ADHD or autistic traits, who are at higher risk of developing depression during adolescence. Right now, we don’t fully understand: • Who is most at risk, • What factors increase that risk, • Or the best ways to build resilience and reduce it. RE-STAR aims to fill these gaps by studying how ADHD and/or autism traits, environmental stress, and emotional responses interact to shape the risk of depression in neurodivergent young people. 00:00 2025 - Edmund Sonuga-Barke 00:11 Introduction and Guest Welcome 01:07 The Intriguing Title: ReSTAR 01:54 The Paradox of Translational Science 02:37 Philosophy of Science and Paradigms 03:05 Paradigm Flipping in Neurodevelopmental Research 03:05 The Shift to a Neurodiversity Model 03:26 Multidisciplinary and Participatory Approach 04:52 Challenges and Tensions in Multidisciplinary Research 06:19 Trust and Scaffolding in Research 09:05 Emotional Burden Concept 10:19 Developing School-Based Interventions 11:17 Digital Pathways and Whole School Interventions 13:17 Arts Practice in Interventions 14:10 Future Directions and Funding 15:42 Conclusion and Final Thoughts The IoPPN Research Festival takes place in London on 14th May 2025.
