IRTG 2773 "Risks and pathomechanisms of affective disorders"
Affective disorders are common, complex disorders that represent one of the greatest challenges to global health in the 21st century. Advances in diagnostic precision and in a targeted manner early interventions could provide an opportunity to address the enormous public health burden and individual suffering associated with these disorders.
The International Research Training Group (IRTG) 2773 "Risks and Pathomechanisms of Affective Disorders", jointly initiated by the Carl Gustav Carus Faculty of Medicine at TU Dresden and the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King's College London(IoPPN), is designed as an interdisciplinary collaboration offering a structured international graduate program "Translational Research in Affective Disorders" for a new generation of talented early-career researchers.
The IRTG is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and started on July 1, 2022. The doctoral students in the first cohort are about to graduate or have already completed their doctorates. The second cohort started in 2025.
