“The Brain Diseases Centre is dedicated to translational projects. It is intended to use the research tools of the fundamental medical sciences, but always to meet the needs dictated by modern clinical practice. The centre is a place for research that requires perpendicular and/or horizontal interdisciplinarity; it will not, for example, be an appropriate place for strictly clinical, second- or third-phase research projects. A multi-domain structure is not usually needed to implement them – the entirety can often be carried out entirely in University and Hospital clinical unit settings here, using hospital diagnostics.”

Prof. Bartosz Karaszewski, Head of the Department of Neurology and the Department of Adult Neurology, creator of the idea and head of research at the BDC

The centre is funded and supported with resources from the Excellence Initiative: Research University
