Anne Jaap is a behavioral biologist specializing in animal welfare, animal behavior, and laboratory animal sciences.
She joined SCIoI in January 2023 to work as a postdoctoral researcher.
Anne studied Biology at RWTH Aachen University, specializing in neuroscience and behavior. In her bachelor’s thesis, she investigated spider behavior, while her master’s thesis focused on empathy in humans. For her PhD, she developed choice tests for mice in the research group of Lars Lewejohann, with the overall aim of improving mouse welfare during laboratory procedures through refinement.
At SCIoI, Anne works on Project 40A, “Big Mouse Data”, investigating the intelligence of laboratory mice based on natural behaviors developed in alternative housing systems.
