People in the institute

Of our 400 researchers and technicians 25% are from abroad. In addition, we have nearly 150 research students, fellows and visiting researchers. Our research covers basic to applied neuroscience. Also, we foster good relationships with many domestic and international universities and institutions. We have established collaborative research centers with the private sector. We also set up the many national and international research platforms, to organize our various activities including brain bank sampling, patients-biobanking, DNA- and RNA sampling, proteomics, cellomics, mousephenomics, neuroinformatics and genetics research activities. Our doctors are MD and PhD and interact to PhDs from other disciplines on a daily basis. By planning events such as weekly seminars in the various departments, annual meetings and gettogethers, symposia and tutorial series for young neuroscientists like pizza-meetings, we actively nurture young scientists in the international neuroscience community. We do this both within and between neuroscience institutes in the Netherlands, in Europe and beyond.
