معرفی
Dr. Mirjam van Zuiden is an Associate Professor in Clinical Psychology at the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences, Utrecht University, specializing in psychotraumatology and PTSD research. Her work bridges clinical psychology, neuroscience, and endocrinology, focusing on precision prevention strategies for trauma-related disorders. She leads the 2-ASAP consortium, a longitudinal study developing sex-specific screening tools for PTSD using advanced statistical modeling and interdisciplinary methodologies.
Her research explores three core areas: (1) psychobiological mechanisms of trauma susceptibility, (2) early risk detection via neuroendocrinological markers, and (3) oxytocin-based interventions to prevent chronic PTSD. This aligns with her involvement in the AI-aided knowledge discovery lab, integrating computational approaches with neuroimaging data from global consortia like ENIGMA-PGC.
- Co-investigator in Dutch Famine Birth Cohort (Hongerwinter) studies
- Principal investigator in HELIUS multi-ethnic urban health research
- Contributor to ABCD child development studies
Van Zuiden serves on editorial boards for the European Journal of Psychotraumatology and Chronic Stress, and collaborates with institutions including Amsterdam UMC, Arq National Psychotrauma Center, and Erasmus Medical Center. Her teaching includes coordinating the Loss & Psychotrauma master's course and supervising clinical and research theses.
