Reference excerpt

Sabine Bahn is a professor of Neurotechnology, Professor & Director of the Bahn Laboratory at The University of Cambridge, a Professor of Translational Neuropsychiatry at Erasmus Medical Centre Bahn's research in The Bahn laboratory at Cambridge is focused on researching the molecular basis of neuropsychiatric diseases; using molecular profiling methods to investigate abnormalities in tissues, blood and fluids; as well as developing new methods for diagnosing and treating psychiatric disorders, in particular focussing on schizophrenia and mood disorders. The Bahn laboratory is supported by laboratory facilities at the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, Cambridge and has received funding through the Stanley Medical Research Institute (SMRI), in addition to being partnered with the Stanley Program for Epidemiology, Prevention and Treatment of Schizophrenia (SPECTS).

Work Psychiatric disorders are increasingly recognised as disorders of the whole body Sabine Bahn is a practising psychiatrist and honorary consultant in psychiatry at the Peterborough and Cambridge NHS trust

Psynova Bahn founded Psynova Neureotech in 2005, which is a company specialising in the commercial applications of biomarkers for mental illnesses. In 2011, Psynova Neurotech was bought by Myriad Genetics, a NASDAQ listed diagnostics company.

Psyomics Bahn co-founded Psyomics with Dan Cowell, who is the CEO, in March 2015. The company aims to improve the identification and diagnosis processes of mental health issues, through the use of digital tools, biological tests and scientific research. This could help the patient access and understand treatment options available. Currently, the team is working on developing tools for early detection in the workplace, as well as concentrating on diagnosing depression and bipolar disorder in a clinical context.

Achievements Professor Bahn has published over 180 articles in well-known scientific journals and has co-founded 2 spin-out companies, (Pysnova and Psyomics). In 2015 Bahn was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology. She is a fellow of Lucy Cavendish College in the University of Cambridge.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Sabine Bahn

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Sabine Bahn claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Sabine Bahn before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Sabine Bahn ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Sabine Bahn

In research: Sabine Bahn appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Sabine Bahn in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Sabine Bahn is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Academics of the University of Cambridge, Living people, Neuropsychologists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Sabine Bahn outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
