Structural, systemic and everyday racism exists in our wider society, and science is not immune from this problem. Injustice, inequality and intolerance related to sex and gender, race, ethnicity, religion, and national origin are sad realities. The tragic moments when lives are lost due to hate and inequality remind us to tackle discrimination in all its forms, however, these moments pass too easily in the daily stream of news and events. As researchers in the mental health sector and the broader neuroscience community, we have a critical role in educating our society and influencing social policy to combat racism and inequality. We recognize this responsibility, and we are committed to address racism directly and immediately when it occurs and to reduce inequality and injustice in our greater communities in any way we can.
About
Work in the Klengel Lab focuses on the underlying molecular mechanisms of neuropsychiatric diseases and towards the development of novel preventive and therapeutic approaches.
Psychiatric disorders are highly prevalent; yet, our understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms leading to the development of these devastating disorders is unfortunately scarce. As a consequence, we also currently lack effective preventive and therapeutic strategies, which leads to an enormous burden for individuals, families, and our societies. The goal of our group is to contribute to a better understanding of psychiatric diseases and thus better interventions. Pursuing a translational approach, we integrate clinically derived data sets and samples, animal models and a diverse set of molecular approaches to identify factors contributing on the molecular level to risk or resilience for psychiatric diseases.
