Childhood adversity and psychopathology

 I am a PhD student in the group of Prof. Dr. Iris Sommer in the Cognitive Neuroscience Center. My research keywords are schizophrenia and childhood adversity. Childhood adversity is one big public health issue and may lead to lots of adulthood illness. A safe and healthy childhood is fundamental to physical, mental, and social development. I am deeply interested in exploring the trans-diagnostic mechanisms of childhood adversity. My research aims to understand how and why experiences of stress, trauma, and social disadvantages in childhood alter developmental processes in ways that increase the risk of psychopathology, especially schizophrenia.
