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
