About Translational Neuroscience

Based on the extraordinary findings during the last decades, neuroscience developed into one of the leading disciplines of biology and medicine. Basic neuroscience has provided valuable new evidence about the development, the functioning, the capacities, and the dysfunctions of the brain and the nervous system over the last decades.

In translational neuroscience, these findings and all technological advances are used to improve diagnosis and therapies for patients suffering from mostly incurable neurological, neurodegenerative or psychiatric diseases such as Alzheimer´s Disease, multiple sclerosis or various types of brain tumors.

This master programme trains a new generation of young scientists who are capable of integrating basic and clinical neuroscience in the nascent field of translational neuroscience.
