Marine.png

Marine Thomasson was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Psychology at the University of the Geneva where she graduated with a Ph.D. in psychology. Marine's thesis focused on the functional specialization and integration of the cerebellum in emotional habit formation and expression with patients suffering from basal ganglia and cerebellar stroke, Parkinson’s disease as well as healthy participants, with the support of a Swiss National Fundation Project grant. She currently holds a clinical position as a neuropsychologist in the Neurology unit of the Department of clinical neurosciences at the Geneva University Hospitals.
