Name: Igor Nenadić
Affiliation: Cognitive Neuropsychiatry Lab, Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Philipps-University Marburg & Marburg University Hospital (UKGM)
ResilNet Role: Network Co-ordinator and Principal Investigator
Prof. Igor Nenadić is Co-ordinator and Principal Investigator of ResilNet. He is Professor of Imaging in Cognitive Neuropsychiatry at Marburg University and Vice-Chair of the Dept. of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, where he leads the Cognitive Neuropsychiatry Lab, a multidisciplinary team investigating the neural basis of mental disorders using brain imaging as well as translational and intervention approaches to mental health. Prof. Nenadić has published more than 300 peer-reviewed papers and has received multiple awards, including the DGPPN Award for imaging in psychiatry and psychotherapy and the Areteaus Psychosis Award, as well as Marburg University’s award for best doctoral thesis supervision.
He has been co-ordinator and PI in multiple national and international consortia, leading the EUTwinsS consortium, as well as being a PI on ENPaCT, FOR2107, and CRC393 consortia, as well as being on multiple working groups for ENIGMA and PGC. One of the main interests of this work has been the study of dynamic networks (from symptoms to neural brain networks) underlying risk and emergence of mental health problems, as well as resilience and interventions aimed at improving mental wellbeing.
Research Interests: resilience; brain imaging; bipolar disorder; depression; schizophrenia; magnetic resonance imaging; translational neuroscience; psychotherapy.

Name: Yasmina El Ouahabi
Affiliation: Cognitive Neuropsychiatry Lab, Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Philipps-University Marburg & Marburg University Hospital (UKGM)
ResilNet Role: Postdoctoral Researcher
Dr. Yasmina El Ouahabi is a Postdoctoral Researcher in Cognitive Neuropsychiatry with a multidisciplinary background in neuroscience, clinical psychology, and neuropsychology. Her research focuses on memory, executive functions, and emotion processing in relation to adaptive behavior. She has expertise in cognitive assessment and neuroimaging and has contributed to studies involving both clinical and non-clinical populations. Within ResilNet, she investigates the cognitive and neural processes that support resilience using integrative, data-driven approaches. Her work aims to improve early mental health risk detection and support the development of personalized, neurobiologically informed interventions.
Research Interests: Resilience; cognitive flexibility; adaptive memory; emotion regulation; neuroimaging; transdiagnostic psychopathology.
Name: Tina Meller
Affiliation: Cognitive Neuropsychiatry Lab, Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Philipps-University Marburg & Marburg University Hospital (UKGM)
ResilNet Role: Postdoctoral Researcher
Dr. Tina Meller is a postdoctoral researcher in the Cognitive Neuropsychiatry Lab. Her research focuses on dimensional psychiatry, especially within the psychosis and autism spectrum, environmental and genetic influences on mental health and resilience, and social and interpersonal functioning. She uses structural and functional MRI methods, including functional connectivity and is interested in how behavioural patterns shape brain structure and function and vice versa. As she believes that scientific results matter most when talked about, she is also passionate about science communication and public outreach.
Research Interests: schizotypy, autism spectrum, functional networks, environmental risk, resilience, interpersonal functioning.
