Carmen graduated in medicine from Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich Germany, with training experience in the UK, Spain and Australia. Her research interests involve the relationship between brain function and behaviour. Carmen’s doctoral project at LMU Munich focused on the psychoneuroendocrinology of placebo effects in nausea.
