About The Author
Andrei C. Miu
Andrei C. Miu is Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience and Behavioral Genetics at the Department of Psychology, Babeș-Bolyai University, and the Founding Director of the Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory. His research investigates the psychological and biological mechanisms of emotion and emotion regulation, with the aim of uncovering individual differences that contribute to risk for psychopathology.
Judith Homberg obtained her PhD in 2004 at the Free University Medical Center in Amsterdam. Her research focuses on individual differences in behavior and risk for stress-related disorders, with serotonin as main modulator.
Lesch has undergone training in Psychiatry and Psychotherapy. His work has been focusing on the interdependent relationship between molecular, cellular and systems neurobiology and mechanisms of pharmacologic and psychotherapeutic treatments related to neurodevelopmental and life-spanning psychiatric disorders using interdisciplinary and translational research strategies. His lab’s work is regarded as an interface with contributions to bridging the sizeable gap between basic molecular, neurobiologic and clinically applicable research.
