Science

Science is more than my profession, I want to bring tangible progress to the life of people with a mental disorder. Through a focus on individuals as opposed to the disorder as a category, I hope to reduce stigmatization and in the long run improve our capacity to treat mechanisms causing suffering. In doing so, I apply and develop machine learning methods.

Recent Publication

In our recently accepted article (Wolfers et al. 2021, Human Brain Mapping) we show extreme individual differences between people with the same saver mental illness. We can replicate this finding across three independent cohorts.
