Wiebke Struckmann
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioDr. Struckmann earned her B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Psychology from the University of Jena in Germany, followed by a Ph.D. in Clinical Neuroscience from Uppsala University in Sweden. Throughout her doctoral studies, Dr. Struckmann used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in a neuroimaging-guided clinical trial assessing the effectiveness of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) targeting the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex to alleviate anhedonia in individuals with depression and schizophrenia.
Dr. Struckmann joined the Stanford Brain Stimulation Lab as a Postdoctoral Scholar in September 2022. Presently, she leads a clinical trial examining personalized therapeutic neuromodulation for anhedonic depression. Driven by her passion for innovative research methodologies, Dr. Struckmann incorporates personalized task designs and physiological assessments to untangle the intricate relationships between cognition, emotion, and psychiatric symptoms, extending her investigations to include obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and addiction. Dr. Struckmann’s primary objective is to advance both our comprehension and treatment of mental health conditions through probing target networks in the brain. -
Themistoklis Tsarouchas
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioThemis completed his PhD at the Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences of the University of Edinburgh in Scotland under Prof Catherina Becker, with focus on the contribution of the innate immune system during regeneration of the zebrafish spinal cord. As a postdoctoral researcher with Prof Anna Williams at the Centre for Regenerative Medicine in Edinburgh he worked on the molecular mechanisms that regulate the differentiation and functional maturation of human oligodendrocytes. Over the last few years, he worked on several projects focused on the identification of genes that regulate the axonal regeneration of spinal cord after injury and the differentiation of human oligodendrocyte progenitor cells into myelin producing oligodendrocytes. As a member in the Gibson lab, Themis aims to identify molecular regulators of the circadian clock and how tuning the circadian system affects the maturation and function of oligodendrocytes in health and disease.
