A significant strand of his research addresses mental health treatment for refugee and asylum-seeking populations, demonstrating commitment to underserved clinical groups. His methodological approach combines clinical trials with cross-sectional studies, often employing rigorous randomized controlled designs.

His recent publication record shows impressive productivity with high-impact articles in journals including The Lancet Regional Health - Europe (IF: 21), British Journal of Psychiatry (IF: 11), and Schizophrenia Research (IF: 5). His work demonstrates consistent focus on evidence-based interventions for complex mental health conditions, with growing interest in novel treatment combinations such as oxytocin paired with mindfulness therapy.

Professor Böge maintains active clinical research engagement, as evidenced by his 2024 publication and ongoing scholarly activity. His work bridges clinical practice and research, with strong emphasis on treatment effectiveness and accessibility.

Prospective students would find opportunities to engage with research on mindfulness-based interventions for severe mental illnesses, refugee mental health, and innovative treatment combinations. His supervisory approach likely emphasizes methodological rigor and clinical relevance, given his publication record.
