Aims & Objectives

We apply a systems biology approach of the brain. In doing so we are currently the largest neuroscience research community gathered on one campus in the Netherlands. We are strongly focussing on molecular neurobiology, going all the way from biophysics, genetics, genomics and systems biology of the synapse, to heritability and genetic basis of brain function. We focus on the biological mechanisms underlying brain diseases, applying the latest technology and thereby providing new perspectives on therapy.
Finding the 'cause' of brain diseases, design its 'cure' and implement this to the level of 'patient care' are all in the center of our research ambition.
