Final Report Abstract

Munich Cluster for Systems Neurology (SyNergy) SyNergy defined Systems Neurology as a new research field where systems-level biology and systems neuroscience meet clinical neurology to generate an integrative understanding of how neurological diseases emerge from the interplay of degenerative, immune and vascular mechanisms. Highlights during the funding period, SyNergy: ● initiated disease-spanning Tandem Projects, documented in >230 high impact papers (IF>10) and an >80% increase in joint LMU/TUM publications by Cluster members. ● recruited exceptional rising-star scientists to fill gaps in its research portfolio and complement a team of Cluster PIs with comprehensive expertise in basic, pathomechanistic and clinical neurosciences (including 13 ERC grant awardees). ● was instrumental in setting up the Center for Stroke and Dementia Research (CSD), which integrates research and clinics and houses 10 SyNergy labs from both universities. ● implemented a clinician-scientists program – two alumni secured prestigious DFG Emmy- Noether fellowships and joined the Cluster as PIs. ● established new programs to educate and support young investigators from high school to post-doc level and promoted gender equality by providing mentoring, family and networking support for female researchers and parent-scientists.
