Janine Bühler
Research Interests
My research interests focus on understanding the pathoetiology and pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders, with a particular emphasis on functional neuroimaging. At the DRCMR and as part of the Developmental Neuropsychiatry Group, I aim to elucidate the relevance and interplay of risk factors for neuropsychiatric disorders in children and adolescents.
