A little late to the party, but whatever🎄 Current and former members of our institute met at the Münster Christmas market (only for scientific discussions, of course😉) The TraP team wishes you happy holidays and a happy new year💫 Stay tuned for 2025 #SFBTRR393 #FOR2107

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

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!

Beyond proud to see this published in The Lancet Psychiatry authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S22…. Together with my brilliant colleague & joint 1st author Kira Flinkenflügel we explored the prospective associations between cognitive performance, white matter integrity, and depressive disease course.

In a project funded by the "Else Kröner-Fresenius-Stiftung", I will investigate the effects of parental depression on the mental health of offspring. If you are interested in transgenerational neuroimaging, think about joining our team 🥳

Our team had a retreat in the mountains was an absolute blast! From epic hikes and breathtaking views to karaoke & quiz nights - it had it all. We scaled new heights, both in nature and in our vocal ranges⛰️🧗
