Hej hej! I’m Sabrina Doering and I’m an early stage researcher (ESR) in the CAPICE project at the University of Gothenburg (Göteborgs Universitet). Together with Ashley Thompson and Marica Leone, I’m one of the CAPICE ESRs based in Sweden.
Living in Germany far too long, I decided to go abroad after high school and started my academic journey by studying psychology in the Netherlands. After three years of riding a bike, come rain or shine, I received my bachelor of science from Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen. To specialize in clinical psychology and neuroscience as well as to gain clinical experience, I moved to Switzerland to do a two years master of science at the University of Basel. Within CAPICE, I am lucky enough to combine my research interests along with the opportunity to be educated in the field of psychiatric genetics.
