I am a PhD candidate in Professor Stéphanie Le Hellard's research group, associated with the Department of Clinical Science and the Bergen Center for Brain Plasticity. The goal of my project is to identify biological markers that dynamically change with response to psychotherapy and predict long-lasting treatment outcomes. We aim to better understand processes underlying the response to psychotherapy and treatment failure in a large-scale research effort, integrating clinical, genetic, epigenetic, and brain imaging data.
