Research & innovation

The NeuroCentre supports researchers in neuroscience. It facilitates multidisciplinary research by promoting links between departments and between neuroscientists. It also encourages the sharing of clinical data. This optimizes the transfer of information and facilitates the implementation of clinical studies.

The NeuroCentre works upstream of the initiation of neuroscience studies, for example during the evaluation, writing and revision of protocols or with submissions to ethics committees. The Clinical Research Centre (CRC), on the other hand, intervenes further downstream in the process. The NeuroCentre complements the work of the CRC.

Specifically, the NeuroCentre provides guidance, advice and support to researchers. It suggests external collaborations with specialists such as the Brain & Behaviour Laboratory, the Neurosciences Department at the University of Geneva, Campus Biotech, or the Swiss Foundation for Innovation and Training in Surgery (SFITS).

It provides research teams with nurses to collect data, for example by taking blood samples. The NeuroCentre also assists researchers in submitting projects to the Business Administration System for Ethics Committees (BASEC) portal and in drafting patient information and consent letters.

The NeuroCentre promotes clinical research to improve the diagnosis and treatment of brain damage.
