How does aggressive behavior arise in patients with mental disorders? What role do cognitive, environmental, and biological factors, as well as disease symptoms, play in understanding and the occurrence of aggressive behavior? How can we treat aggressive behavior in patients with mental disorders better? A team of researchers from various universities is addressing these questions through a longitudinal, developmental, multidimensional, transdiagnostic approach in the TRR 379. They aim at identifying transdiagnostic biosignatures to enable a more specific prevention and treatment.

Results of the DFG Team Statistics 2025

Following the conclusion of the 2025 reporting year, we have analyzed the data from our coordinated programs. Transparency is a key component of our research culture, which is why we are sharing a detailed look at the people behind TRR 379.

Distribits 2025

Q02: Data management for computational modelling Research data management

The Distribits 2025 conference and hackathon (23-25 October in Düsseldorf, Germany) will bring together researchers, software developers, and other data enthusiasts working on distributed data management technologies and FAIR workflows. These themes are integral to the decentralized data management infrastructure employed within the TRR 379. Namely, this year’s Distribits event will feature talks on the development and application of DataLad, git-annex, and other distributed data tools, which are core technologies enabling version control, sharing, and reproducibility of datasets across TRR 379 sites.
