I hope to use the visibility of this award to help draw more attention to children’s mental health - a field that’s close to my heart. Advancing our understanding of the neurodevelopmental transitions perspective will be at the core of my work!

In my Campfire Session, I’ll share how large-scale longitudinal neuroimaging initiatives can be embedded in a translational framework as demonstrated in our @trr393.bsky.social I can’t wait to work with such brilliant peers and ambitious ERCs. It’s a privilege to be part of this community!

I feel especially honored because the #DGPPN has awarded our paper with the DGPPN oral presentation abstract prize!🥳

No, I rather believe that the alterations might be a byproduct of a dysregulted stress response and hence the consequence of a complex interplay of social, environmental and biological factors

Anyone who would like to hear the results of our study with joint first author Kira Flinkenflügel recently published in The Lancet Psychiatry now has the chance to do so at the #DGPPN. Come to my talk in New York 2 at 12:00!

Special thanks to our great supervisor Udo Dannlowski, our amazing colleagues from the Institute for Translational Psychiatry, and other colleagues from the FOR2107 cohort study

Using longitudinal and multimodal data in a deeply phenotyped large sample, our results emphasize the relevance of disease progression and white matter microstructural integrity in cognitive outcomes in depression
