The research group focuses on investigating sex-and gender aspects in the brain functions using modern Magnetic Resonance (MR) neuroimaging  methods. The goal is to gain a better understanding of the neurobiological basis of those aspects and to analyse their relevance for tailored diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. 
Another focus is on gender-sensitive medicine and domestic violence (DV). The research group has also developed a European training platform on domestic violence for the medical sector, which serves to expand and deepen the DV knowledge and skills of health professionals.
