Research on mental health of adolescents

Marieke's research focuses on understanding neurobiological mechanisms that play a role in the development and maintenance of psychopathology during adolescence and emerging adulthood. For her research, Marieke uses experimental tasks in combination with neurobiological measurements: such as hormones, psychophysiological measures (heart rate, skin conductance, EMG) and imaging techniques (MRI).

Marieke works closely with prof. Dr. Christian Tamnes from Promenta Research Center, Oslo University and dr. Armita Golkar Golkar's Research Lab - Stockholm University from Stockholm University.
