I am mostly interested in understanding if and how reproductive life events, such as pregnancy, postpartum, contraception and menopause influence women’s mental health, and what are the possible underlying mechanisms. Another major research interest of mine is on suicidal behavior, from the perspective of both, prevention and postvention. In my research I like to combine epidemiological and biological approaches to obtain an overarching picture of mechanisms underpinning complex phenotypes.
