My research focuses on the effects of stress in the brain, from molecule to patient. But I am also the Dean of Medicine. From my background as a scientist, I am motivated to support our scientists and enable them in every possible way. To make sure they have smooth access to state-of-the-art facilities; that we help them to secure funds and optimize their career options; that they can collaborate with the right partners. And all this with the aim to improve the future of health.
