Kira D. Höffler

I am a PhD candidate in the research group of Professor Stéphanie Le Hellard, 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 psychological, genetic, epigenetic, and brain imaging information.

I am on the board of the Postgraduate School of Clinical Medical Research (Forskerskolen I Klinisk Medisin) and an active member of the Norwegian Centre for Mental Disorders Research (NORMENT).
