Kate Tchanturia Awarded MBE in 2025 New Year Honours List

We would like to extend our most heartfelt congratulations to EDAC member Professor           Kate Tchanturia, who has received an MBE for her services to Autistic people with eating disorders. 

An MBE is a Member of the British Empire award, given to those who have made an outstanding achievement or service to the community. Individuals receiving an MBE will have made a long-term, significant impact to their community, and stand out as an example and inspiration to others. Kate's work on eating disorders in Autistic people has paved the way for the development of PEACE, a pathway developed to support Autistic people suffering with an eating disorder. 

"It is both a delight and an honour to be recognized in the King’s New Year Honours List. I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to the community I have served, my colleagues, students, the large research and clinical teams, and my family for all their support over the years. I am also deeply grateful to the nominators who took the time to put me forward. Although I do not know their names, I am incredibly thankful for their kindness. I look forward to continuing to work hard and collaborate with great people. I have been blessed with fantastic opportunities since moving to the UK 28 years ago, and I hope to make further contributions to both academic and clinical psychology."

- Professor Kate Tchanturia, MBE

Congratulations to Kate once more for such an outstanding achievement, and we are incredibly privileged to have Kate in our EDAC community!
