معرفی
Prof. Dr. Sarah Genon is a Professor and Group Leader at the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine (INM-7: Brain and Behaviour) of Forschungszentrum Jülich. Her research focuses on understanding brain-behavior relationships through neuroimaging, machine learning, and large-scale data analysis. She leads interdisciplinary projects investigating hippocampal organization, predictive modeling of mental health outcomes, and replicability in neuroscience.
Key areas include:
- Brain structural health prediction using exposome data
- Hippocampal morphological networks linked to self-regulation
- Generalizable machine learning approaches for depression and Alzheimer's biomarkers
- Cross-cultural generalization failures in behavioral prediction models
She emphasizes open science practices, leading initiatives like the Individual Brain Charting dataset and promoting diversity in neuroscience research. Her work bridges basic research with clinical applications, particularly in psychiatry and neurodegenerative diseases.
Recent efforts include:
- Developing connectivity-based brain atlases
- Studying sleep-cardiometabolic brain interactions
- Addressing gender biases in neuroscience methodologies
Her team collaborates internationally to advance reproducible brain-behavior mapping and improve translational neuroscience outcomes.
