Deniz Kilicel
Research assistant
I am a research assistant at Professor Andrea Samson’s lab. I found my true calling in studying emotion regulation and emotional processes in various populations including Autism Spectrum Disorder and Williams Syndrome.
Originally interested in neural networks in psychosis prone adolescents, I finished my Masters degree on Applied Research in Psychology, focusing on Affective and Cognitive Sciences, at the University of Geneva under supervision of Professor Martin Debbané where I also worked as an MRI technician. We aimed to describe reality-monitoring networks in typically developing and psychosis prone adolescents diagnosed with a DiGeorge Syndrome (22q11.2).
