After obtaining my MSc degree (2020) at Groningen University (Behavioural and Cognitive Neurosciences, specialization in Behavioural Neuroscience), I joined the Animal models of psychiatric disease team of Sabine Spijker (1-10-2020) as a PhD student. Using viral interventions with behavior and proteomics as read-outs, I aim to understand the transition from stress to depression with respect to the lasting cognitive dysfunction observed in the social defeat-induced persistent stress model.
