Researchers in this cluster are focussing on aging-related diseases and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s disease and stroke. Their work investigates how these diseases can be diagnosed, monitored, treated, minimized and even prevented.

The focus of this cluster is to uncover ways the brain develops and the interplay of genes and environment on that process. This research group will emphasize the 'molecule-to-child' approach. Areas of research include: neurodevelopment disorders; epilepsy; mood disorders; autism spectrum disorders; aging; stress; bipolar disorder; attention; memory; learning; genetic disorders.
