• Translational Neuroscience is one of the few medical research centres in the Netherlands with a very strong patient-oriented (translational) neuroscientific research focus. Many of our research themes are recognized national referral centres and the clinicians and researchers are national and international leaders in their field.
  • Clinicians and researchers work closely together on key clinical questions to unravel the molecular basis and identify novel intervention targets of the diseases. The Translational Neuroscience programme offered by Leiden University is strongly patient-oriented and focuses on the cause, course and treatment of a number of brain disorders with a significant impact on patients and society, and of congenital and acquired muscle and neurodegenerative diseases that impair normal movement.
