Tanja Endrass is Professor of Addiction Research at the Technische Universität Dresden. Her focus is to explore factors and mechanisms that contribute to the vulnerability and development of compulsive behaviors as it is observed in addition or obsessive-compulsive disorder. She uses electroencephalography and functional magnet resonance imaging to determine behavioral and neural biomarkers of compulsivity, e.g. action control, learning, and decision making. The goal is to understand why people develop harmful behaviors that are difficult to change.

Short biography

Tanja Endrass became Professor of Addition Research in September 2016. From 2012 to 2016 she was working with Markus Ullsperger at the Otto-von-Guericke University in Magdeburg and set up an outpatient clinic for psychotherapy at the university. In 2013 she completed her habilitation in psychology and obtained here license in psychotherapy (Behavioral Therapy). From 2003 to 2012 she was post-doc in the group of Norbert Kathmann at the Humboldt University in Berlin where she focused on obsessive-compulsive disorder.
