EU funding for Jaume Ferrer Lalanza

We are beyond proud to announce that our postdoc Jaume Ferrer won a very prestigious, EU funded, Marie Curie individual fellowship.

With this grant, Jaume will study the effects of junk food on the reward system. In other words, the mechanisms by which unhealthy food modifies our brain in relation to our motivations and rewards

As part of a special programme at UiT, Jaume visited our lab in 2018. Brain storm and writing sessions together with supervisor Eelke Snoeren and lab manager Roy Heijkoop led to a first project proposal that sadly did not make the cut. The improvements of this year's version were appreciated by the referees, who gave a high score.
