the art of navigating social interactions capturing social anxiety where it matters most

social anxiety sa has a profound impact on social functioning but there is limited understanding of how sa individuals navigate the challenges of everyday social situations these challenges consist of deciding how to communicate with others and how to regulate emotions evoked by those interactions often under timepressure and swiftly changing demands yet the field has largely neglected the dynamic and socially interactive character of the challenges faced by sa individuals this project builds on my conceptual innovation sa should be studied where it matters most during dynamic social interactions considering emotion regulation decisions it also builds on my methodological expertise measuring neural dynamics during communication these innovative backgrounds allow me to now develop a new neurocognitive framework for understanding the challenges sa individuals face when dealing with the communicative and emotional demands of social interactions i will test how sa pairs solve communicative problems under evaluative pressure while brain activity in each pair is simultaneously measured wp1 i will use advanced methods to quantify of how pairs use their shared history to explore novel solutions to the communicative challenge further i will identify neural systems supporting the selection of strategies to regulate emotions evoked by social stimuli wp2 casting emotion regulation as a dynamic decisionmaking problem between regulatory strategies moves the field beyond current sa research on the inability to execute a single strategy finally i will test whether difficulties to flexibly deal with communicative wp1 and emotion regulation wp2 demands in social settings can be explained by rigidity to adjust behaviour in unpredictable environments wp3 explaining the social challenges that sa individuals face in daily live will move the field beyond traditional approaches unable to capture the dynamics of typically changing social situations
neuronal control of fascia

the fascia is the largest tissue in the body yet most of us never heard of it this connective tissue delineates the skin surrounds muscles and closely envelops all organs clinically it is mainly considered a mechanical barrier separating organs and muscles but why should a simple barrier be populated with immune cells and receive extensive innervation by sensory and sympathetic neurons here we propose that the fascia generates a sensory platform that detects damage to the tissues it envelops and communicates this information to the brain which in turn initiates corrective programs and modulates immune activity our preliminary results support this hypothesis indicating that chronic depression in mice and direct optogenetic activation of sympathetic fascia innervations induce immune changes in the fascia we propose three major aimsacharacterization identify the anatomical and genetic characteristics of fascia innervation and fascia resident immune cellsbfunction determine how fascia inflammation is represented in the brain and how it affects pain responsescmodulation demonstrate how neural control of the fascia affects this tissue and its immune state my multidisciplinary background uniquely positions me to study this novel aspect of brainbody communication we will use viral tracing and spatial transcriptomics to characterize the fascias innervation optogenetics to locally control neurons in the fascia chemogenetics to manipulate brain activity and highdimensional immune characterization to establish the immunological outcomes in the fascia neurofascia has the potential to transform our understanding of brainimmune communication and open new therapeutic avenues for disease such as myofascial pain syndrome endometriosis and fibromyalgia which are accompanied by lowgrade inflammation and altered fascia innervation

investigating neuroimmune crosstalk during enteric parasitic infections using human intestinal organoids

the gastrointestinal gi tract has its own nervous system known as the enteric nervous system ens which contains a network of enteric neurons and glial cells and controls gi physiology and functions studies have shown inflammatory responses as a result of enteric infections can cause damage or injury to the ens and an imbalance in the ens can cause gi disorders the fine modulation of the inflammatory responses induced by components of the innate immune system eg macrophages along with other key players of the immune system is essential to generate an adequate response to fight infections while preventing overactivation which can cause irreparable gi pathology leading to enteric diseases the ens is capable of performing this immunomodulatory role and share a common language with the immune system to provide adequate protection from infections and maintain gi physiology however little is known about how the crosstalk between the two systems keep enteric infections at bay in this study i propose to investigate how the neuroimmune crosstalk regulate gi physiology during enteric infections of t trichiura and t cruzi from a human host perspective to do this i will use human intestinal organoids hios the use of hios in the field of infection biology holds great promise and offers tremendous potential to establish one unified system containing immune cells and the ens in this project i will create an integrated hio system containing the ens and components of the innate immune system to investigate the neuroimmune crosstalk of enteric parasites using 3d cell culture live imaging immunofluorescence and advanced transcriptomic and protein profiling this will in turn open up new avenues to study the infection biology of other pathogens establish targeted therapies and develop personalised medicine
growing up with superdiversity the importance of school experiences in the development of youths interethnic attitudes

as superdiversity becomes an integral part of the modern youths everyday reality it is of vital importance for them to learn how to embrace differences appreciate and value otherness and develop positive relations with people of diverse backgrounds although the literature suggests that adolescence is an especially crucial period for the development of interethnic attitudes we still lack a clear understanding of how youth change their interethnic attitudes across this developmental stage and which factors contribute to these changes to address this important gap in knowledge and go beyond the state of the art this project will analyze whether youth follow different developmental trajectories of interethnic attitudes across adolescence and provide a comprehensive understanding of the role of school context in shaping these trajectories the focus of this ambitious project is on attitudes in general rather than only prejudice since it will not only find ways to prevent negative outgroup dispositions but also identify factors that might place youth on positive attitudinal trajectories during this critical developmental period the project will utilize a mixedmethod research design integrating quantitative ie longitudinal largescale panel data and qualitative ie semistructured interviews and citizen science approaches the project will not limit its analysis to ethnic majority youth but will also focus on adolescents of various minority backgrounds including newly arrived ukrainian refugee adolescents across different national contexts new knowledge in this area will make a unique contribution to the theory advancement as well as provide an avenue for developing more personalized and effective programs and interventions aimed to facilitate positive interethnic interactions among youth the host is the perfect match for the successful realization of the project and provides a highly appropriate environment for the fellows career growth
