Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics

Neurobiology

The Section for Neurobiology is part of the Danish Research Institute of Translational Neuroscience – DANDRITE

- the Danish node of the Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine, which performs basic and translational research in brain and the nervous system.

Groups at DANDRITE encompass ambitious research programs that include:

Molecular and cellular mechanisms of memory
Effort-based decision making
Neuronal development and stem cells
Motor control
Brain processing of vision
Neurological and neurodegenerative diseases
Psychiatric disorders
Neurotrophic receptors, sorting
Structural biology of membrane transporters and receptors
