Post-DocS
Dr. Tineke Grent-'t-Jong is a senior post-doctoral researcher at the Department of Child and Adolescence Psychiatry, Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy, Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin. Her work focuses on identifying electrophysiological correlates of auditory and visual perception processing deficits in patients with schizophrenia and emerging psychosis, using (parallel) optically pumped magnetometer (OPM) and electroencephalography (EEG) recordings. She has published more than 20 papers in leading journals (JAMA Psychiatry, Biological Psychiatry, eLife, PLOS Biology)
Dr. Pradeep Dheerendra is a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology (INP), University of Glasgow. He uses MEG and 7T fMRI to investigate abberrant predictive processing in psychosis. He obtained a Ph.D. with the Auditory Cognition Group, Newcastle University (NCL), UK. Pradeep is a recipient of a Wellcome Trust PhD studentship, and Overseas Research Scholarship from Newcastle University. I am a TATA Scholar, and a Narotam Sekhsaria Scholar (https://www.pradeepd.com/).
Ph.D./M.D. Students
Kate Haining: 3rd year PhD student at the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology (INP), University of Glasgow. Kate investigates predictors of clinical and functional outcomes in individuals at clinical high-risk for psychosis. She is currently implementing a cognitive remediation intervention in CHR and FEP participants to determine the impacts on neural circuits as assessed via MEG.
Gina Brunner: 2nd year PhD student, INP, University of Glasgow. Gina uses multi-modal neuroimaging (fMRI, MRI, MEG) and machine-learning to develop biomarkers for predicting clinical outcomes in clinical high-risk for psychosis participants. She is supported by a Lord Kelvin/Adam Smith (LKAS) PhD scholarships.
Lena Kohlmeyer: Lena is a M.D. student at the Charité-Universitätsmedizin who is interested in electrophysiological signatures of emerging psychosis and early intervention.
Alexia Alevizopoulos: Alexia is a M.D. student at the Charité-Universitätsmedizin who is interested in the relationship between peripheral signals and neural oscillations in emerging psychosis.
MS.c. Students
Ms Bianca Bianciardi: Bianca investigates language abnormalities in emerging psychosis at the University of Glasgow.
Ms Clara Naujok: Clara examines the electrophysiological signatures of emotional response inhibition during emerging psychosis in the Charité-lab.
Research Assistants:
Dr Patrizia Di Campli San Vito: She obtained a Ph.D. in Computing Science, University of Glasgow, in 2021. She has interested in E-mental health approaches.
Ms Saskia Cooper: Saskia obtained a MSc in 2020 from the University of Edinburgh in Mental Health in Children and Young People
Research Coordinator:
Rebecca Warner-Hodgkin: Rebecca obtained an M.A. in Politics from the University of Manchester and previously worked at the University of Cambridge.
