Prof. Dr Mandy Roheger has been appointed professor of Outpatient Assessment in Psychology at the Department of Psychology. She has been a junior professor in this field at the University of Oldenburg since 2022.
Roheger studied psychology with a focus on neurology, in Düsseldorf and Cologne, where she also completed her doctorate in 2019. She then moved to the University Medical Centre Greifswald, where she conducted research at the Department of Neurology in the working group Healthy Ageing and Prevention of Dementia. She has also been an associated researcher at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm (Sweden).
Roheger is particularly interested in how the ageing process affects people's ability to learn, remember, think and perceive. She develops measures aimed at helping people to maintain or improve their cognitive abilities, especially those affected by dementia and Parkinson's disease. Together with Prof Dr Antje Wulff, she also heads the COVISION project, which is funded as part of Lower Saxony's COVID-19 research network. The aim of the project is to predict the course of neurocognitive symptoms after a COVID-19 infection.
