Today, we raise awareness for people in poverty. At our faculty, prof. @bramvervliet and Dr. @CSamaey show how poverty affects people more than one can imagine. They demonstrate research on poverty and mental health and show how research can aid in solving poverty-related issues.
📢 NEW PAPER 📢
Very excited to announce that the final paper I wrote during my PhD is now published in @BioMedCentral Psychiatry. Want to know more about the role of #identity processes in #childhood #adversity and #psychopathology? Check it out here ➡️ rdcu.be/eb6sW

Exactly one year after defending my PhD, our paper on fear learning and generalization in adolescents exposed to childhood adversity is out in @TheJCPP. So glad to see such an essential part of my PhD work published. Catch the paper here ➡️ doi.org/10.1111/jcpp.14092
I'm eternally grateful to all collaborators on this project @Youth_inTransit, as well as for my colleagues at @LabBram for the continued support 🙏.

Look mom, I'm on TV 📺! Ongelofelijk vereerd en dankbaar om te mogen meewerken aan deze driedelige documentaire over de impact van pesten. #VoorgoedVerpest vanaf donderdag op @VRTCANVAS.
In aflevering 2 komt ons @Youth_inTransit onderzoek naar de impact van pesten en andere vormen van kindertrauma aan bod 🙏.

It’s a wrap! Thank you all for attending, sharing your research, engaging in inspiring discussions, pitching high-quality posters and the fun in between! It has been a blast organizing #emhfc2024 with @bramvervliet @TomRBeckers @KVandael @Chalkia_A @m_dudziak_ @zaman_jona39926
Vorige week mocht ik bij @tada_brussels een gastles geven over hersenonderzoek🧠🔬. Enorm dankbaar voor de vele verwonderde blikken en kritische vragen die doorheen de dag aan bod gekomen zijn 💡. #ScienceCommunication @KU_Leuven @Youth_inTransit @leuvenbrainins1
📣 Out now in #EarlyInterventionInPsychiatry 📣
Using a large-scale @SigmaLeuven adolescent dataset, we investigated how alterations in identity development and threat anticipation may interact in the context of childhood adversity. Catch the paper here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/shar…

As of last week, I'm officially #PhDone 🎓. Many thanks to my supervisors @winkel_ruud and @BartBoets, my colleagues at @Youth_inTransit and @CDP_KULeuven, and the jury members for their support throughout this journey.
Had such a wonderful time meeting fellow fear conditioning researchers and presenting our @Youth_inTransit work on adolescent fear generalization following childhood adversity at #EMHFC2023 🇦🇹🏔️.
🚨New paper alert🚨
Our latest paper in Journal of Adolescence is out📜. We investigated the influence of identity formation following childhood adversity on symptoms of depression, anxiety, and psychosis in 1913 Flemish adolescents. Catch the paper here👇doi.org/10.1002/jad.12145
I honestly cannot believe my 3-month research stay at @LabTomer has come to an end today. Thank you so much to all colleagues, especially @GilShner and @ZoharKleinPsyc, for the interesting and inspiring time together, both inside and outside the lab 🙏.
Presented this poster on identity formation in childhood adversity at #ESCAP2022 today. So happy to finally be able to share our research in person again 🙌.
BUT healthy identity dimensions do attenuate the association between adversity and self-reported symptoms, underscoring the importance of fostering healthy identity formation during adolescence.
