Welcome to our new Erasmus intern Emma Wegmeth!

We are delighted to welcome Emma Wegmeth from the University of Leipzig, who has joined the O’BRAIN Lab in Helsinki as an Erasmus intern.

Emma is a second-year Master’s student in Neuropsychology and will complete a 2.5-month internship at the lab. She is involved in the neuroPOD project, which focuses on deep neurocognitive phenotyping in an obese cohort.

Before joining the O’BRAIN Lab, Emma spent a year as a research assistant at the University Clinic of Leipzig, working at the Institute of Social Medicine, Occupational Medicine and Public Health (ISAP) in the Epidemiology and Public Brain Health workgroup. She contributed to the MyBraincoach project, focusing on dementia prevention and risk awareness.

Emma is currently writing her Master’s thesis at ISAP on the incidence and risk factors of depressive symptoms in mid- and later life. We look forward to the perspectives she will bring to our research and wish her a productive and enriching stay.

Please join us in welcoming Emma to the team!
