»My goal is to understand
the link between depression
and metabolism.«
My research explores how stress interacts with the metabolic system, particularly in relation to sugar balance, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.
Dr. Maria Meier
Stress & metabolic system expert
I study effects of stress on health and behavior, with a special focus on the regulatory interactions between stress and the metabolic system.

I work at the Department of Psychology (Pruessner lab) of the University of Konstanz, Germany, and previously worked at the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Research Department of the University Psychiatric Clinics Basel (UPK), Switzerland (Schmid lab).
Open Science
Award-winning initiative: NODES
I am an open science enthusiast and, together with colleagues at the University of Konstanz and the Amsterdam UMC, I initiated the Task Force Neuroendocrinology Open Data Exchange Standard (NODES), which aims at developing a community-driven standard data structure for psychoneuroendocrinology to facilitate data sharing and reuse. NODES was awarded a YERUN Open Science Award.
