Dr Bodyl Brand is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford. Her research focuses on the intersection of psychosis and women’s mental health. She holds a cum laude PhD in Behavioural and Cognitive Neurosciences from the University of Groningen (NL), where she was supervised by Prof Dr Iris Sommer. During her doctoral research she explored how the treatment of psychosis could be enhanced by taking into account the impact of sex and sex hormones on both the clinical presentation and the treatment of the disorder. She authored several reviews to identify knowledge gaps and conducted both epidemiological and clinical studies that demonstrated sex differences and sex-specific effects of current treatment strategies. In the coming years, her aim is to gain a deeper understanding of how the hormonal changes inherent to women's lives make them more vulnerable to psychosis, and how we can best treat this increased vulnerability, taking into account not only their mental health but also their physical well-being.
