Remembering Sue Iversen: A Tribute from Eileen Joyce & Trevor Robbins
Episode 4
Friday, 17 July, 2026
Professor Eileen Joyce and Professor Trevor Robbins, two of her closest colleagues and former PhD students, join André Tomlin to remember Professor Susan (Sue) Iversen (1940–2025), the scientist who fused psychopharmacology and neuropsychology and helped found the field of neuropsychopharmacology.Sue supervised both Eileen's and Trevor's PhDs at Cambridge in the 1970s, went on to lead Behavioural Pharmacology at Merck, became Head of the Department of Experimental Psychology at Oxford, served as President of the BAP (1996–98), and was made a CBE for services to medical research. In this conversation, Eileen and Trevor talk about how Sue shaped their science and their careers: her dopamine research, her influence on the dopamine-prefrontal cortex framework, and her mentorship of a generation of scientists, many of them women.This conversation previews "Remembering Sue Iversen and her contribution to Psychopharmacology," a special session at the BAP Summer Meeting, 19–22 July 2026, University of Birmingham.
