Neuro
The aim of this research area is to better understand the cause of disease in the nervous system with the perspective of revealing new and better treatments, such as for multiple sclerosis, stroke, brain tumors, epilepsy, and Parkinson's disease.
We use methodology within the field of neuroscience but also genetic, epidemiological and immunological methods and we work closely with health care. Many research groups include active clinical colleagues, such as doctors, nurses and physiotherapists. This is an area that bridges the gap between basic research on the nervous system and the practical clinical medicine.
