About me I am a PhD-student at the University Hospital of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychotherapy. The research topic I focus on is resting-state autonomic function in the development of personality disorders. My research interest lies in acquiring an understanding of neurobiological correlates in the context of illness progression. As part of our research group I investigate psychological and neurobiological mechanisms that promote maintenance of non-suicidal self-harm (NSSI) behavior in adolescents. Within an experimental study we explore the multi-systemic interplay of neurobiological systems in NSSI with the long-term goal of identifying new treatment targets.
