• Lundbeckfonden Fellowship
  

• Dr Kamilla Miskowiak is one of the new Lundbeckfonden Fellows 2016. The fellowship of 10 million DKK (1.34 million Euro) enables her to conduct a large neuroimaging project that aims to identify a novel brain-based biomarker model for pro-cognitive effects. A biomarker model that can help select among new candidate cognition treatments prior to large-scale clinical efficacy trials. The project may lead to a break-through in development of treatments for cognitive impairment in psychiatric disorders.
