Esmée Altena

My name is Esmée, I’m a first year Medical Biology Master’s student with a specialization in Neurobiology at the Radboud University. I’m currently doing my internship at the Developmental Psychobiology lab. During my internship, I will be conducting my own research using the BIBO data. I will investigate maternal sensitivity and sibling presence as potential predictors of children’s caring behaviour.

Furthermore, I will be helping with data collection for the Mini Moves study, so you might see me around when you participate!

I am particularly interested in how biological and environmental factors shape brain development and human behaviour, especially during childhood. I am very enthusiastic about starting my internship and look forward to contributing to the research and gaining further experience!
