Radboudumc
Research environmentThis project is a collaboration of:
- The research group of Dr. Marloes Henckens, assistant professor at the department of Cognitive Neuroscience (CNS) of the Radboudumc, focusing on the neural correlates of differential susceptibility to stress-related disorders, with a specific interest in PTSD.
- The research group of Dr. Johannes Gräff, assistant professor at the Mind Brain Institute of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), focusing on the epigenetic mechanisms involved in learning, memory and memory loss.
The project is embedded in the unique and excellent infrastructure of the
Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, a world-class research centre devoted to understanding the mechanistic underpinnings of cognition and behaviour in health and disease. It is a highly dynamic institute with a collaborative atmosphere and particular interest into translational research. For further information, please, visit the following websites:
Radboud University Nijmegen, Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Department of Cognitive Neuroscience. Research into stress and stress-related disorders is an important focus area at Radboud university medical center. Researchers working on this theme jointly organize regular discussion meetings and lectures to promote integration of research conducted within molecular, cellular, systems, behavioural, and clinical neurosciences across campus. Part of the project will be conducted at the
Laboratory of Neuroepigenetics of the Brain Mind Institute of the
École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (a highly interdisciplinary premier research institute embedded within the
Faculty of Life Sciences).
