Research
Inga Koerte is Professor of Neurobiological Research in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU), Munich, Germany and Lecturer in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School (HMS), Boston, USA.
Inga received her M.D. in 2006 at LMU Munich. Between 2006 and 2014, she pursued clinical fellowships in pediatrics and radiology at LMU Munich. Inga first joined the PNL in 2009 as post-doctoral researcher under the supervision of Prof. Martha Shenton, where her focus was on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in developmental disorders. Over the last decade, her research has focused on advanced MRI in traumatic brain injury, repetitive head impacts, and brain development. Inga is leading several large research studies including three studies on pediatric TBI in Germany, a multi-center study on repetitive head impacts in Europe, and a study on sex differences after sport-related brain injury. Further, she is Co-Leader of the ENIGMA Sport-Related Brain Injury group, European Editor at Journal of Neurotrauma, and Vice President of the European Neurotrauma Organisation (ENO).
