Tessel Boerma receives a NWO Veni grant

Dr. Tessel Boerma is one of the six scholars from the Faculty of Humanities that will receive a NWO Veni grant this year. The grant will enable her to further develop her research ideas, for a period of 3 years.

Her project “Language as predictor of psychosis in the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome” investigates language in relation to (pre)psychotic symptoms in 22q11DS, supporting our understanding of developmental mechanisms and early identification of this devastating mental illness.
