Using systems neurology as a new interdisciplinary approach, SyNergy researchers
investigate the shared disease mechanisms of neurovascular, neurodegenerative,
and neuro-immunological diseases, and on this basis develop novel diagnostic and
therapeutic approaches.
SyNergy has been funded as an Excellence Cluster by the
German Research Foundation (DFG) since 2012.
