Inserm U1216 Research Center – Université Grenoble Alpes Director: Frédéric Saudou email: frederic.saudou@inserm.fr
Our scientific goals To understand the brain To develop innovative therapies for brain diseases (Alzheimer, Parkinson, Huntington, Epilepsy, Cancer, Schizophrenia, Stroke…) GIN
The GIN A Center Dedicated to Fundamental and Clinical Research in Neuroscience “Edmond J. Safra” built in 2007 6000 m2 dedicated to research Located on Grenoble Medical campus Close location to the neurology, psychiatry and neuroscurgery departments and the MRI medical facilities GIN
Our institutional partners Funding and administrative agencies Université Joseph Fourier => Université Grenoble Alpes Institut National pour la Santé et la Recherche Médicale (Inserm) Partners Centre Hospitalier Universitaire (CHU) - Grenoble Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives (CEA) European Synchrotron Radiation Facilities (ESFR) Centre National de Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) GIN
Our aspirations The GIN as a cutting-edge center for neuroscience with multidisciplinary approaches From molecules to brain signals to decipher brain functions and develop novel therapies
Our strategy Our strengths A continuum from molecules, cells, small animals to human for the study of neurological, neuromuscular and psychiatric disorders Our strengths Cellular and molecular biology of the neuronal cytoskeleton Predictive animal models of brain pathologies Human genetics Functional neurosurgery and deep brain stimulation Functional MRI coupled to electrophysiology Mapping of neuronal networks Cognition and behavior
Our opportunities Our strategy A continuum from molecules, cells, small animals to human for the study of neurological, neuromuscular and psychiatric disorders Our opportunities Grenoble University Hospital Large instruments such as synchrotron Health Engineering (Clinatec, TIMC) Multidisciplinarity with mathematics, physic, imaging centers Neurosciences in Grenoble University Hospital Federation (FHU) Neuropsynov
