Neurodis relies on a network of experts and existing high-quality structures
An exceptional hospital recruitment network:: Lyon’s Pierre Wertheimer Neurology Hospital is one of Europe’s largest centers specialized in neurology and neurosurgery.
A neuroscientific community able to develop transversal and multidisciplinary research projects.
A collaboration strategy founded on clinical and research workers that has led to significant diagnostic and treatment breakthroughs.
Several inter-regionally coordinated tools: approved Biological and epidemiological Resource Centers and human and animal platforms for multimodal cerebral, metabolic and functional exploration (PET, MRI, MEG synchrotron radiation, proteomic transcriptome and neurochemistry platforms).
International-scale neuroscience research institutes
The Institut Fédératif des Neurosciences de Lyon (IFNL), on the Lyon Neurocampus, is over 10 years old. It includes 5 Inserm units, 6 CNRS units and 2 Lyon-1 University research teams: i.e., around 500 people, including over 200 titular Inserm or CNRS researchers, research-teachers and hospital practitioners. Its scientific policy mainly consists in stimulating and supporting interaction between fundamental, preclinical and clinical neuroscience research.All of the Lyon teaching hospital clinical neurology and neurosurgery teams are federated in the IFNL.
The Grenoble Neuroscience Institute (GIN) was set up recently as a Research Center bringing together the Joseph Fourier Grenoble-1 University, Inserm, the CEA and the Grenoble teaching hospital. There are 7 Inserm teams or units and 1 team from Grenoble University: i.e., around 200 people, including 88 titular Inserm or CNRS researchers, university research-teachers and hospital practitioners. The GIN is directed by Claude Feuerstein who is also vice-president of the Foundation.
