Translational Neuroscience

Neuroscience is a rapidly growing field of science of great relevance to society. Basic research has provided valuable insights into the development, aging, function, and dysfunction of the brain and has shown multiple ways to modulate brain processes. Translational neuroscience uses this knowledge and technological advances to help developing new diagnostic procedures and therapies for patients with neurological or psychiatric disorders.

This anglophone international Master study programme in Translational Neuroscience is consecutive to a Bachelor programme and is addressed to students interested in basic and clinical research in neuroscience. All relevant information can also be found on the official website of Translational Neuroscience.

National & international networking:

Translational Neuroscience is in cooperation with the EU Educational Programme of the Human Brain Project (HBP) and the Graduate School of the Max Planck Society - the Max Planck School of Cognition.

There are strong reasons to study Translational Neuroscience at the Heinrich-Heine University (HHU) Düsseldorf. The programme is administered exclusively by internationally recognized scientists with expertise in neuroanatomy and physiology, neuropathology, preclinical studies, including those involving animal models, neuropharmacology and immunology, modeling, brain development and aging, such as clinical neuroscience. They provide a fascinating insight into the large and constantly growing field of Translational Neuroscience. In addition to the excellent research facilities on the HHU campus, the study programme provides access to the Research Centre Jülich (Forschungszentrum Jülich) with laboratory and neuroimaging equipment that is among the best in the world.
