Prof. Nickl-Jockschat leads the University Clinic for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg. In his research, he focuses on the molecular and cellular causes of brain network disorders that can lead to psychiatric illnesses. Advanced imaging techniques are used in large patient cohorts to robustly identify changes in the structure and function of brain networks. Translational research approaches with model organisms and the latest omics methods in combination with artificial intelligence then provide access to the molecular and cellular level. Close collaborations with national and international partners – for example, the German Center for Mental Health, the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases, the Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology (PsychCircuits), the University of Iowa, and the Allen Institute for Brain Science – help us maintain a lively exchange with international cutting-edge research. In this context, Prof. Nickl-Jockschat is motivated by the vision of improving mental health and optimizing treatment as well as prevention strategies based on basic research.
