Linda Scoriels
Ph.D, HDR
Associate professor
Paris Cité University
Linda is a researcher at LaPsyDÉ and an associate professor in cognitive neuroscience at the Institute of Psychology, Université Paris Cité. She completed a Magistère in Genetics, followed by a Master's degree in Cognitive Neuroscience in Paris between 2002 and 2005. She then completed a PhD in Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge, UK, under the supervision of Peter Jones in 2010, followed by a first postdoctorate. Then, after obtaining a ‘Young Talent’ funding from the Brazilian government, Linda moved to the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), where she completed her 2nd postdoctorate, followed by a position as substitute assistant professor in the UFRJ Faculty of Medicine. On her return to Paris in 2021, she joined the Krebs team at the Psychiatry and Neurosciences Institute of Paris, where she was appointed scientific director of two multicentre clinical trials in France. She co-directed the theses of Larissa Genaro (2018), Erica Woodruff (2018), Anna-Luiza Guimarães (2022), Valeria Lucarini (ongoing), Delphine Yeh (ongoing) on the role of cognitive and emotional functions in psychosis and ageing.
Her research focuses on the biological and environmental characterisation of cognitive and emotional processes in development, psychiatric disorders and ageing. She also seeks to develop pharmacological and digital cognitive enhancement strategies for these different populations, in order to improve cognitive and emotional processes, as well as functioning and quality of life of these individuals.
