New €6 Million Research Project led by Tobias Hauser

Our team has been awarded nearly €6 million from the Wellcome trust to study how decision-making breaks down in schizophrenia and OCD. Starting in 2026, we will run the largest study of its kind, using fMRI and animal models to explore dopamine's role in these processes, with the goal of developing better treatments.
We are also recruiting new team members, click here to find out more
