ReTune: SFB TRR295
ReTune is a transregional collaborative research center (TRR) focused on enhancing understanding and treatment of movement disorders like Parkinsonism and dystonia through the study of neural activities and targeted neuromodulation strategies. By examining cell interactions, circuit modeling, and network retuning, the TRR aims to integrate multidisciplinary expertise for effective clinical applications.
BCCN
The Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience (BCCN) Berlin is a leading research institution focused on understanding brain function through interdisciplinary approaches. It combines experimental and theoretical methods, and aims to advance knowledge in brain modeling and neural coding.
Medical Neurosciences
The International Graduate Program Medical Neurosciences at Charité offers an interdisplinary, international graduate program, which leads to the degrees of MSc, PhD or MD/PhD in Medical Neurosciences. The program addresses both students of medicine or of life sciences (biology, biophysics, chemistry, psychology etc.).
Students receive comprehensive training through theoretical courses, scientific skills, and laboratory work, preparing them for a PhD and careers in neuroscience.
Funding
Our neuroscience lab is proudly supported by generous funding from government grants, private foundations, and industry partners.
These contributions enable groundbreaking research into the mysteries of the brain, fostering innovation and discovery in areas such as neural circuitry, cognitive processes, and neurological disorders. With this support, we strive to push the boundaries of scientific knowledge and make a meaningful impact on health and well-being.
