Aniko Korosi is currently an Associate Professor at the University of Amsterdam. Throughout her career, she has developed a strong and highly recognised research program in the field of nutritional neuroscience. Aniko specialises in the neurobiology of stress, and studies how the brain adapts long-term when stress occurs during early developmental periods and how nutrition modulates the brain.

Early-life stress (ELS) is a key risk factor for developing psychiatric disorders including mood disorders and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Her research focuses on understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the adaptation to (early)stress and the associated risks to mental illness as well as testing the original concept that early nutritional strategies can protect against the ELS-induced deficits. Her research is funded by several (inter)national programs (NWO, JPI- Nutri-Cog and Alzheimer Nederland, Horizon 2020, JPND). To conduct this research program, she performs studies across various species, including mice, fish and humans.
