<h1>Our Team</h1>
<p>We're a diverse group of researchers working to understand how brain architecture supports cognitive function through the continuous interaction of genes and environment. Our team brings together expertise in neuroimaging, computational modeling, clinical neuroscience, and social cognition.</p>
<p>Interested in joining us for a short or longer while? We welcome trainees and collaborators who are curious about multi-scale brain organization, biosocial approaches to neuroscience, and bridging from microstructure to behavior. We particularly value diverse perspectives that help us understand brain organization beyond traditional WEIRD samples. Please get in touch with Sofie at valk [at] cbs [dot] mpg [dot] de or s [dot] valk [at] fz-juelich [dot] de</p>

<section id="team-structure">
<h2>Team Structure</h2>
<p>Our work is organized into three synergistic research groups that bridge themes and scales:</p>
<div class="team-structure">
<div class="subgroup">
<h3>Precision Imaging and Social Health</h3>
<p><strong>Co-led by Dr. Jessica Royer</strong></p>
<p>This group investigates how ultra-high resolution structural features relate to social cognition and environmental context. We're particularly interested in understanding how the social environment shapes brain architecture and how individual differences in brain organization relate to social functioning.</p>
</div>
<div class="subgroup">
<h3>Clinical Neuroimaging and Lifespan Models</h3>
<p><strong>Co-led by Dr. Clara Weber</strong></p>
<p>This group develops translational approaches to understand brain organization across development, aging, and clinical populations. We aim to build models that integrate multi-scale brain data to understand cognitive trajectories and mental health across the lifespan.</p>
</div>
<div class="subgroup">
<h3>Computation and Methods Development</h3>
<p><strong>Co-led by Dr. Amin Saberi</strong></p>
<p>This group creates advanced analytical tools to integrate multi-scale neurobiological data and model brain dynamics. We develop computational approaches that link microstructural organization to network dynamics and behavior, accounting for non-linear relationships across biological scales.</p>

<h2>Alex John</h2>
<h3>PhD candidate, IMPRS</h3>
<p>Alex found her interest in the thalamus, its structural connectivity with the cortex, and its role of orchestrating whole-brain activity. Additionally, with her background in biology, she likes to think about how to translate macroscale findings at the systems-level to the biological underpinnings at the microscale.</p>
