New center for brain research on the Garching campus

A new connectomics research center will be established on the TUM campus in Garching, which will focus on the comprehensive mapping and analysis of all neuronal connections in the brain. At the Center for Structural and Functional Connectomics (CSFC) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), researchers from various disciplines will collaborate in such areas as state-of-the-art imaging technologies. The Joint Science Conference (GWK) has approved funding of around 69 million euros.

The CSFC will connect the Munich Institute of Biomedical Engineering (MIBE), the Centers for Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroscience (CMSN), and Digital Medicine and Health (ZDMG) being set up at TUM University Hospital, and SyNergy. An internationally competitive research network will be created through collaboration with Helmholtz Munich, the Max Planck Society, and the national research networks “German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE)” and “The German Center for Mental Health (DZPG)”.
