Networking of NeuroCure in DFG-Funded Projects

The Cluster of Excellence NeuroCure (EXC 257) is actively networked within the German research landscape. In addition to 16 collaborative research centres, six transregional collaborative research centres, six graduate research groups and seven priority programs, NeuroCure scientists are involved in seven research units and four clinical research units of the DFG. An Emmy Noether junior research group and three Heisenberg fellowships underline the scientific excellence of the cluster.
