• Jolanda Derks

    In 2014 I started my PhD project after finishing a master in Neurosciences. During my bachelor and master I enjoyed working in the lab as well as spending time behind the computer analysing MRI images. In this PhD project I have the opportunity to combine both modalities, which is challenging, both also very exciting. In…

  • Linda Douw (PI)

    I’m a neuroscientist, trying to make sense of our brain. I like the brain for all its complexity, and try to understand more of it by using graph theory. This theory-governed but still data-driven approach allows for investigation of how the brain works on multiple scales and with several imaging modalities. I’m particularly interested in…

  • New paper: the connectomic profile of glioma patients and its clinical correlates

    In our latest paper we show that in glioma patients connections between different brain areas are affected on a broad scale. Specifically connections linked to brain regions that play a central role in information processing (hubs) are altered. By analysing 71 functional MRI scans of glioma (brain tumor) patients and a cohort of healthy controls…

    I’m a Biomedical Engineer from Portugal, interested in the frontier between engineering, neuroscience and psychiatry. I am especially passionate about using artificial intelligence for synthesis and analysis of biomarkers of psychiatric/neurologic disease. In particular, I’ve been keen on connectomics as a framework to make sense of the unfathomable complexity of the brain. I have developed…

  • Dorien Maas

    As a neuroscientist, I am fascinated by how cognitive problems can be treated to improve the well-being of patients with brain diseases. Various brain diseases present with similar cognitive symptomatology and I am interested in what brain mechanisms underlie these shared cognitive symptoms. I approach this problem by studying the role of neurons and glia…
