Dr Maria Dauvermann

PhD

Biography

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Cognitive Genetics and Cognitive Therapy (CogGene) group, National University of Ireland in Galway. I received her PhD in Psychiatry and Neuroimaging from the University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom, in 2014. Following the PhD, I undertook postdoctoral research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA, until June 2016.

Research Interests

My research interests focus on the investigation of acute and chronic stress and the implication of stress in the aetiology and continuation of major psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, depression and post-traumatic disorder. I study the impact of acute and chronic stress on functions of the brain and its relationship with clinical symptoms and cognitive deficits that may affect individuals in daily life by using in-vivo neuroimaging techniques, including functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Electroencephalogram. In addition, I use translational psychiatry in order to increase the translational potential between human and rodent research.
