Great potential for research into mental illness in Hesse thanks to further funding for large-scale projects
December 12th, 2024
Looking back on 2024, the LOEWE Research Center DYNAMIC is very pleased that several major projects related to research into mental disorders have been approved and extended, with which we are in close contact and whose research results we are looking forward to with great anticipation.
The Collaborative Research Center 289 “Treatment Expectation” has been extended for four more years, proving that research into expectations is of considerable relevance to the success of medical treatments. Based on the well-known placebo effect, research here focuses in particular on the questions of how treatment expectations affect therapies and to what extent they can be successfully improved. Congratulations!
The Collaborative Research Center 393 “Trajectories of Affective Disorders” has been approved as a new large-scale project to investigate the mechanisms behind relapses and remissions in affective disorders. A better understanding of these processes has the potential to improve treatment approaches and predict the course of mental disorders more precisely. We wish the project a good start.
In this context, we would also like to highlight the research of The Adaptive Mind, which focuses on fundamental research into adaptation processes in human perception, thinking and behavior under constantly changing conditions. This year, the project submitted an application for funding as a Cluster of Excellence with international scope. We are keeping our fingers crossed that it will be approved.
Cooperation between research projects is of great value to the LOEWE Research Center DYNAMIC. It not only strengthens research networking, but also enables collective progress in the understanding and treatment of mental disorders.
We look forward to cooperate with these projects and work towards common goals.
