Martin Weygandt

Dr. habil. rer. nat. Martin Weygandt was a Postdoc in the lab from 2007 to 2016. In April 2016 he finished his habilitation on ‘Computer-based diagnostic and prognostic approaches in medical research using brain MRI’ and in November of this year he became Principal Investigator of the DFG-funded project ‘Neural mechanisms of psychological stress and depression in MS and their relevance for disease severity’ (WE 5967/2-1). This project is embedded in the NeuroCure Clinical Research Center (NCRC) at Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin.
