Ms
Megan Groombridge
Doctoral Student

My research interests are centred around paediatric development. I graduated from the University of Oxford in 2024 with a 1st in Experimental Psychology, before working as a research assistant for paediatric neuroimaging in Clinical Neurosciences. Outside of academia, sport has always been a big part of my life. I have competed in athletics and football, and currently coach a girls football team.

Research Project

My project aims to investigate the relationship between mental health and sport injuries in adolescents. In particular, I aim to elucidate and validate psychosocial and physiological mechanisms that may underlie this relationship. By incorporating objective measures, such as wearables and brain imaging, I ultimately aim to improve understanding of how mental health may impact injury risk in adolescent athletes.
