MNESYS / A Multiscale integrated approach to the study of the Nervous system in health and disease
MNESYS connects molecular, clinical and computational neuroscience to develop predictive and personalised approaches to disorders of the nervous system and behaviour. Its research programme brings together complementary expertise to investigate how the nervous system functions and which biological mechanisms contribute to disease. The work includes identifying biomarkers that can detect disease before symptoms or at an early stage, discovering cellular and molecular targets for new treatments, and building computational representations of biological systems from several kinds of data. Researchers also examine neural networks involved in vision, movement and communication between brain and body, accounting for differences between individuals. These activities support earlier patient stratification, more individualised treatment strategies and the translation of basic neuroscience into clinical research.
