The High Risk Population Research  

This pillar focuses on identifying risk and resilience profiles associated with the risk of developing severe mental illnesses, such as depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. These may play a role in the development of (early) detection, prevention and intervention strategies, personalized to the specific needs of an individual. We focus on offspring of parents with severe mental illness in the mood-psychosis spectrum from prenatally into young adulthood. 

Prof. dr. Neeltje van Haren

My mission is to understand the biological mechanisms underlying psychotic and mood symptoms and diagnoses; and I focus my reserach efforts on the neurobiologcal and (social) cognitive basis of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, using neuroimaging approaches, exensive phenotyping, and experimental (social) cognitive paradigms, preferably within longitudinal family designs.
