Chandeny Bennewitz

Chandeny joined the GUTS project in May 2025 as a research assistant within Work Package 2 in Leiden. With her neuroscientific background, she has long been fascinated by the brain. She is particularly interested in how the brain develops in interaction with environmental factors. Previously, she worked with a wide range of populations, from healthy centenarians to individuals facing physical or mental health challenges. Now, she is excited to shift her focus to a new and very important population: young people, who she believes represent the future! By joining GUTS, she has the ambition to contribute to neuroscientific research with meaningful societal impact.
