Overview
About the programme
To fulfill this mission, basic and clinical neuroscientists will combine forces to research the novel key concept that neurodevelopment constitutes a major determinant for the individual’s vulnerability to neuropsychiatric and -degenerative disease in later life.
Equally important, the Neurodevelopment and Vulnerability of the Central Nervous System RTG at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) addresses the need to train the next generation of neuroscientists in this important emerging pathophysiological concept.
The members of the RTG envision that the intensive training and research activities will significantly impact on the development of new perspectives for disease prevention and treatment.
Programme Structure
Research projects address the following key questions:- Research area 1: How do disease genes impact on neurodevelopment?
- Research area 2: How do neurodevelopmental factors influence vulnerability to disease-precipitating insults?
- Research area 3: What are the commonalities in genetics and pathophysiological pathways between neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric / -degenerative diseases?
