Bruno Pedraz

Bruno Pedraz is a researcher at the Central Institute of Mental Health, Mannheim, actively contributing to the Brain Stimulation and Stress-Related Disorders research groups with a focus on translational psychiatry and neuroscience.

His expertise spans psychoneuroendocrinology, neuroimaging, and biomarker analysis in stress-related disorders, particularly examining the kynurenine pathway's role in depression and perinatal mental health. He utilizes advanced techniques including transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and LC-MS/MS metabolite quantification to investigate biological mechanisms underlying psychiatric conditions.

Recent publications (2022-2024) reveal a concentrated research trajectory exploring maternal trauma impacts on fetal development, HPA axis dysregulation in depression, and placental biomarker dynamics. His work consistently bridges clinical psychiatry with molecular neuroscience through interdisciplinary collaborations and pilot clinical trials.
