Georgia Soursou

Georgia Soursou is is a Special Scientist at the Center for Applied Neuroscience and a PhD Fellow at the University of Cyprus under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network entitled Neo-PRISM-C (Neurodevelopmental optimal-predictors risk factors and intervention: From a systems approach to maladjustment in children). She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Biomedical Informatics from the University of Thessaly, Faculty of Science (2011-2016) and a Master’s Degree in Bioinformatics (2017-2019) from the University of Crete, School of Medicine. In her current project as an Early Stage Researcher, she works under the supervision of Dr. Kostas A. Fanti in the Developmental Psychopathology lab of the University of Cyprus, where she is interested in internalizing and externalizing psychopathology affected by genetic and environmental influences. In her work, she uses a multimodal apporoach informed from the Research Domain Criteria (NIMH) framework and stemming from cognitive, physiological, genetic, environmental and brain indiators. She is aiming to identify biomarkers for neurodevelopmental deficits and to reconteptualize the notions of internalizing and externalizing psychopathology. 

As part of the Neo-PRISM-C project, she is collaborating with Mareike Kaemmerer on the role of environmental factors influencing emotional development in children aged 8-12 years old.
