Janine Thome is an interim professor at the Fresenius University of Applied Sciences Heidelberg (Germany). She is also associated with the department of Theoretical Neuroscience at the Institute of Mental Health Mannheim, Heidelberg University (Germany) and the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Western Ontario (Canada).
She received her degree in Psychology at Bielefeld University in 2012 and went on to complete her doctoral degree in Psychology at Heidelberg University in 2017. She was pursuing her research with Prof. Dr. Ruth Lanius in her first postdoctoral appointment at the Department of Psychiatry, University of Western Ontario, Canada. She continued her postdoctoral work at the department of Theoretical Neuroscience at the Institute of Mental Health Mannheim, Heidelberg University (Germany) with Dr. Georgia Koppe. Sind 2015, she is working as a clinical psychologist in training with a focus on treating individuals suffering from trauma-related disorders, such as posttraumatic stress disorder and borderline personality disorder.
Janine’s research focuses on the impact of trauma on psychophysiological and neuronal responses and associated processes such as memory and cognitive functions. Her research interests include studying how trauma affects critical survival processes such as arousal regulation at the brain level. In this context, she investigates the role of dissociation and the interplay of the central nervous system and the autonomous nervous system (i.e., brain-body interaction). She is also concerned with the impact of trauma on implicit memory processes, their neuronal underpinnings, and the association with dissociation. Janine aims to inform therapeutic approaches through her research by identifying behavioral and biopsychological parameters. To date, she has published 33 publications and serves on the Scientific Committee for the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation.
