Lieneke Janssen
Postdoctoral researcher
Stephanstraße 1A
04103 Leipzig
Germany
Lieneke completed an undergraduate Bachelor’s degree in psychobiology and a cognitive neuroscience research master in the Netherlands. As a research assistant, she studied the links between brain dopamine and gambling behavior. Lieneke completed her PhD at the Donders Institute, which focused on ‘Breaking bad habits’, by investigating the effects of pharmacological and behavioral interventions on frontostriatal processing. Since April 2017, Lieneke is working as a postdoctoral researcher in the O’Brain Project, where she studies the role of dopamine and hemispheric asymmetry in obesity.
