Project Leads

Marco Solmi and Christoph Correll, the two COH-FIT project leads, are clinician researchers with a long-standing and very productive history of collaborating, mixing, merging and expanding their curiosity, ideas, and networks, as well as of their shared perseverance and drive. Faced with the devastating onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic, they both felt the imminent urge and strong need to quickly shift from a position of passive and stunned observership to mobilizing inner and outer resources in order to actively collect information that can be used to making a difference during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. They both have been very lucky to be joined equally quickly by many outstanding and like-minded collaborators around the globe who share the same sense of responsibility and who make up the COH-FIT team.
