Iris Sommer is opgeleid als psychiater en promoveerde op taal bij psychose.
\nZe startte de Stemmenkliniek in Utrecht en bestudeerde auditieve hallucinaties met beeldvorming en hersenstimulatie. In 2017 verhuisde ze naar Groningen, waar ze haar onderzoek naar taal als biomarker voor psychose voortzette. Samen met Lena Palaniyappan en anderen richtte zij het Discourse in Psychosis Consortium op. Andere projecten die zij leidt zijn de optimale behandeling van vrouwen met psychose en het verbeteren van de voeding en het microbioom van psychiatrische pati\u00ebnten. Voor het laatste project won ze in 2020 de Jubileumprijs van de Hersenstichting.<\/p>\n

In 2021 werd ze benoemd tot Distinguishes Fellow bij het Netherlands Institute for Advanced Sciences en in 2022 won ze de Nederlandse jaarlijkse prijs voor Wetenschap en Samenleving.
\nZe is PI van het door de EU gefinancierde Trusting-consortium van 2023 en werd in 2024 samen met Philipp Homan, Wolfram Hinzen en Brita Elvevag benoemd tot een EU Synergy Award. Sinds april 2024 is zij de verkozen president van de Schizophrenia International Research Society (SIRS).
\nIris schrijft ook populair-wetenschappelijke boeken, die in verschillende talen zijn vertaald.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
