Organisation profile

About us

The Institute of Medical Psychology was re-established in 2024. It is part of the Department of Medicine at the University of Luebeck. Through the Professorship for Musicians' Health (Prof. Dr. Daniel Scholz), the Institute also builds a bridge to the University of Music. The Institute is located in the Center of Brain, Behavior and Metabolism (CBBM).

The research groups at the institute focus on the (neuro)biological foundations of human behavior and experience. It focuses on topics such as emotion perception and its development, empathy, the influence of hormones on affective behavior and the effects of stress on musicians.

Research Groups:

In teaching, the Institute represents the subject of Medical Psychology in the Human Medicine degree course and the subjects of General Psychology, Social Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience in the Bachelor's and Master's degree courses in Psychology. Next to that, we offer elective subjects on musicians' health.
