Noemi Lücking

Noemi Lücking is a PhD researcher at Free University of Berlin's Department of Education and Psychology within the Division of Clinical Psychological Intervention, concurrently training as a psychological psychotherapist (systemic therapy) at ISTB in Berlin since 2022.

Her academic credentials include a Master of Science in Psychology from University of Potsdam (2022) specializing in Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy, and a Bachelor of Science from Heidelberg University (2019), with international research stints at Universidade de Lisboa (2022) and University of Melbourne (2018).

Lücking's research investigates biological-psychological interactions in women's mental health, particularly premenstrual dysphoric disorder heterogeneity, menstrual cycle impacts on stress response systems, and depression vulnerability phases. Her work integrates symptom manifestation analysis, patient perspectives, and biological correlates to advance gender-sensitive clinical frameworks.

Her 2023 meta-analysis in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews synthesized evidence on menstrual cycle-related HPA axis fluctuations, establishing methodological foundations for future studies on hormonal influences in psychopathology.

Key recognitions include:

• 2024 German Center for Mental Health scholarship for German Psychotherapy Congress
• 2022 Erasmus+ scholarship for Lisbon research residency
• 2018 Heidelberg University/Baden-Württemberg scholarship for Melbourne studies

She contributes to the Smart-e-Moms research project through online counseling and participates in the Division's mission to develop evidence-based psychological interventions for trauma and women's health conditions, bridging clinical practice with neurobiological research.
