Jorg J.M. Massen
I am a comparative psychologist specializing in social cognition. Currently I work as an Assistant Professor at the Animal Behaviour and Cognition Group of Utrecht University (NL). My research mainly focuses on the proximate mechanisms underlying animal social relations, with special interest in cooperative and prosocial behaviours. For that I use both observational and experimental approaches. Moreover, to put my studies in an evolutionary perspective, I employ a broad comparative approach, focusing on a variety of primate and bird species.
Sebastiaan Mathôt
Assistant professor at the University of Groningen in The Netherlands. Fascinated by perception, attention, pupil size, and eye movements. I am also the main developer of OpenSesame, an open-source program for developing psychological and neuroscientific experiments.
Marianna Mazza
Professor of Psychobiology in Psychiatric Rehabilitation
Professor of Psychology in Cardiological Physiopathology
Author of more than 150 papers on prestigious National and International Journals focusing mainly on anxiety and mood disorders, pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, sleep disturbances
Member of National and International Scientific Societies
Referee for more than 30 International Journals
Genevieve M McArthur
The goal of my research is to understand what causes reading and language difficulties in children, how these difficulties can be identified and treated effectively, and how they relate to emotional health. I am a passionate advocate for the rapid translation of evidence-based knowledge into practice.
Over the last 25 years, I have held academic positions at the University of Western Australia, Curtin University, Oxford University, and Macquarie University. I am currently the Translational Director of the Macquarie University Centre of Reading, the Founding Director of the Macquarie University Reading Clinic, and Project Manager of MOTIf (Macquarie Online Test Interface; www.motif.org.au).
Rachel McMullan
Wellcome Trust Career Development Fellow using C. elegans genetics to understand how animals respond to infection. In particular the cross talk between nervous and immune systems that coordinates behavioural and cellular responses to infection. Member of the Genetics society and British Society for Cell Biology.
Eva M Mezey
Dr. Mezey earned her M.D. from the Semmelweis University Medical School in Budapest, Hungary. She received her Ph.D. in neuroendocrinology from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in Budapest. Dr. Mezey subsequently came to the NIH as a postdoctoral fellow in the Laboratory of Cell Biology, NIMH. She later returned to the NIH as a visiting scientist in NINDS.
