We focus on the biological mechanisms underlying common mental health and neurological brain diseases, applying the latest technology and thereby providing new perspectives on therapy. Finding the ‘cause’ of brain diseases, design its ‘cure’ and implement this to the level of ‘patient care’ are all in the center of our research ambition.

Multidisciplinary and Integrative Research Environment
Research teams at the CNCR stand out by their specific research areas and often state-of-the-art techniques. As a consequence, the existing diversity in disciplines within the CNCR often leads to multidisciplinary collaborations; from genomics to electrophysiology and from cell biology to human studies. 

The Neuromics Marie Curie Early Stage Training Site is hosted by the CNCR and offers young scientists excellent early stage training opportunities in the field of Functional Neurogenomics.

Our center is very keen on valorization-initiatives. The CNCR is strong on knowledge innovation. We apply strong innovative as well as high throughput screenings. In particular, we supply a number of services including genotyping and sequencing, cellomics, proteomics and gene expression.

For the optimal positioning of its research in the international field, CNCR has established many connections to research institutions around the world, both in as (bilateral) collaborations between individual CNCR researchers and their partners in other institutes worldwide and as part of national and international networks.
