About SFB 665
Collaborative research center SFB 665 includes basic and clinical neuroscience groups from the Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin and the Freie Universität Berlin. It combines the efforts of investigators using genetic analyses in animal models to study nervous system development, researchers assessing nervous system function on a cellular, biochemical or physiological level, and clinicians identifying the genetic causes of developmental disturbances in their patients. The initiative is organized along two fundamental themes in contemporary developmental neuroscience, the mechanisms underlying pattern formation and cell specification, and neural connectivity and signaling. By making close collaboration between basic researchers and clinicians possible, SFB 665 aims to bridge the gap between basic and patient-oriented science.
