Biography

Dr Ann-Katrin Kraeuter is a PhD neuroscientist with active research in nutritional neuroscience, neurobiological mechanisms of stress and psychiatric disorders within the general population. Ann-Katrin joined Northumbria University in 2020. Before Northumbria, her research investigated the effects of ketogenic diet in animal models of schizophrenia (PhD (Dec 2019) “KD in mouse models of psychosis”, James Cook University, Townsville, Australia). Ann-Katrin post-doctorate research position investigated biomarkers for early stroke detection in stroke survivors  Ann-Katrin is interested in combining her expertise in survey-based evidence with biological evidence (PhD in Medical and Molecular Sciences (medal of excellence)) to provide a holistic understanding of the effects of ketogenic diet on prodromal psychosis.
