In this episode, Elisabeth Binder, Germany, explores how stress leaves lasting biological marks through genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. In conversation with Jelena Brasanac, Germany, she discusses how discoveries in stress-related genes and pathways, such as FKBP5, have paved the way toward a deeper understanding of vulnerability, resilience, and the promise of personalised psychiatry. She also reflects on the role of science in society and how research can shape narratives around mental health, offering a thoughtful perspective on the future of the field.Views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the interviewee and do not necessarily reflect the official position of ECNP.
