[1058] Neuroimaging and Translational Psychiatry

Our lab investigates the mechanisms and brain circuits in psychiatric disorders and their therapeutic potential, with a special interest for the cerebellum's role. We are driven by a strong commitment to bridging the gap between clinical observations and translational applications, aiming to leverage neuroimaging-guided neuromodulation techniques to develop innovative therapeutic solutions along two axes:

Axis 1 focusses on clinical & precision psychiatry and explores neurobiological underpinnings of severe, treatment-resistant psychiatric disorders and schizophrenia in particular, using advanced neuroimaging and clinical assessments for deep phenotyping and patient stratification. This axis includes brain-wide association studies for biomarker identification to guide targeted treatments.

Axis 2 focuses on translational & interventional psychiatry and emphasizes translating findings into interventions, with a focus on neuroimaging-guided TMS to correct circuit abnormalities and improve clinical symptoms. Collaborations with preclinical research ensure interventions are based on robust neurobiological understanding.
