Linda de Voogd is an assistant professor at the unit of Clinical Psychology and works in the field of affective neuroscience and translational experimental psychopathology. Her research focusses on (neurobiological) mechanisms of anxiety, stress and trauma and treatment. She is currently working on a project funded by a starter grant from the Ministry of OCW on “Improving translational research on trauma-related psychopathology by taking the clinic into the lab”. The aims of her research are to: 
(1) investigate how memories for negative and traumetic events are formed and consolidated, (2) indicate vulnerability and resilience factors for developing anxiety- and trauma-related psychopathology, (3) improve behavioral interventions for the treatment of anxiety- and trauma-related psychopathology.
