Romke Rouw

Misophonia Research Fund Scientific Advisory Board Member
Dr. Romke Rouw is a faculty member at the University of Amsterdam. Her lab employs a broad range of techniques (e.g., in-lab behavioral experiments, large online studies, psychophysics, and various neuroimaging techniques) to unravel the connection between highly subjective sensations and behavioral and neurological mechanisms. Rouw regularly presents to non-academic audiences which is both fun and allows her to raise public awareness for unusual responses to stimuli as part of a 'normal' condition.

The Research Acceleration and Innovation Network (TRAIN)

Body

The Research Acceleration and Innovation Network (TRAIN) is a network of more than 160 foundations interested in taking a strategic and entrepreneurial approach - what some refer to as “venture philanthropy” – to funding medical research. TRAIN convenes forward-thinking groups to learn from each other and share their novel solutions with the rest of the medical research system.
