M.A. Rezan Nehir Mavioğlu
R. Nehir Mavioğlu received her B.Sc. degree in Molecular Biology and Genetics (MBG) from Boğaziçi University, Turkey in 2015. During her bachelor studies, she worked with Dr. Aslı Tolun from MBG department and investigated the genes responsible from some rare neurological diseases. She also worked as an intern in Vrije University Amsterdam with Dr. Meike Bartels about heritability of optimism in adolescent twins, and in University of Würzburg with Dr. Klaus-Peter Lesch’s team in the effects of fear conditioning in Tph2 knockout mice.
She received her M.A. degree in Psychology with a focus on psychobiology from Boğaziçi University, in 2018. During her master studies supervised by Dr. Elif Aysimi Duman, she focused on gene-environment interactions, and their effects on HPA-axis activity and behaviour of children and young adults.
Since September 2018 she is a Ph.D. student at the department of Clinical & Biological Psychology at Ulm University.
