Motivated by a year of internship in a home for disabled children (St. Vincent) in Jerusalem, Israel, Friederike Moeller decided to become a neuropediatrician. She studied medicine at the universities of Marburg and Kiel (Germany) and obtained her MD degree in 2005. Afterwards she worked as a residentat the Northern German Epilepsy Centre for Children and Adolescents and at the Department of Neuropediatrics at the University Hospital of Kiel. In 2007 Friederike Moeller received the EEG certificate of the German society ofClinical Neurophysiology and functional Imaging (DGKN).
As part of her medical thesis she applied fMRI to investigate cortical reorganization in children with connatal spastic hemiparesis. Since 2006 her research focuses on simultaneous recordings of EEG and fMRI in children with epilepsy. In 2009 she received the Young Investigator Award of the German speaking society of pediatric neurology (“Desitin-Jungforscherpreis”).
Friederike Moeller worked at the MNI as a research fellow to extend her experience in EEG-fMRI in epilepsy. Since 2010 she is working in Kiel, Germany again.
