Our research is conducted by a multiprofessional team that closely cooperates with national and international partners. We employ a variety of methods from psychometric diagnostics and interviews to modern techniques such as neuroimaging and measurement of heart rate variability. This variety allows us to obtain extensive insight into the human psyche and develop innovative solutions to the challenges faced by the health care system.
Quality, transparency and ethical standards are fundamental to our research. We are committed to good scientific practice and always strive to share our methods and findings with the community. Through open science, we promote free access to knowledge and support the global research community in advancing medicinal psychology and psychosomatics. Ongoing production of scientific publications and supervision of final theses in the degree programs at the Medical University of Graz help to enhance knowledge and prepare future generations as best as we can.
