About us

We are the Memory,Sleep and Hormones (MeSH) Lab at the University of Groningen. We focus on exploring how sleep disturbances and (sex) hormones affect the memory performance in a healthy and aging brain.

We are an energetic, fun, and motivated group that approaches science through collaboration, honesty, shared responsibility, and hard work. We like to think outside the box, and to test assumptions in our fields of neurobiology, psychology, medicine, and cognitive science. We share a growth mindset, so we enjoy challenges and grow from our mistakes. To us, being a good scientist means developing a good knowledge base through continuous reading and evaluating the literature while also developing practical laboratory skills. We tackle our own research by balancing attention to detail with a goal-oriented perspective.
