Neurosciences

Presentation

The mission of the Neurosciences Programme is to support clinical research, which in the end must give us a better understanding of mental and neurodegenerative illnesses. There is special interest in those disorders induced through the poor usage of psychoactive substances and pharmaceuticals.

The Programme is comprised of 20 research groups with a highly clinical orientation:

• Addiction, Marta Torrens
• Applied Metabolomics, Oscar Pozo 
• Behavioral Neurobiology, Olga Valverde
• Cell-type Mechanisms in Normal and Pathological Behavior, Arnau Busquests 
• Clinical and Risk Factors for Neurodegenerative Diseases Research Group, Oriol Grau-Rivera
• Doping Control Research Group, Rosa Ventura
• Epilepsy, Rodrigo Rocamora
• Fluid Biomarkers and Translational Neurology Research Group, Marc Suárez-Calvet
• Genetics , Luís Alberto Pérez Jurado
• Integrative Pharmacology and Systems Neuroscience, Rafael de la Torre
• Mental Health, Victor Pérez & Francesc Colom
• Neural Computation Laboratory, Manuel Valero
• Neural Mechanisms of Perception and Memory, Rodrigo Quian Quiroga
• Neuroimaging of Mental Disorders, Oscar Vilarroya
• Neuroimaging of Neurodegenerative Disease and Healthy Aging, Juan Domingo Gispert
• Neuroimmunology, José Enrique Martínez Rodríguez
• Neuropharmacology, Rafael Maldonado
• Systems Neurology and Neurotherapies, Pablo Villoslada Díaz
• Neurovascular, Jordi Jiménez Conde
• Perioperative Medicine and Pain, Lluís Gallart

A good part of the programme’s research groups are recognised research groups from the Research & Innovation Plan (PRI) of the Catalan Autonomous Government and belong to the CIDEM Technological Innovation Network (IT).
