March 2023 – The first biannual network meeting will be held on March 26-28, 2023 in New York City. Principal Investigators will present their research programs while also giving Early Career Investigators an opportunity to introduce their work. The International Network of Excellence on Brain Endothelium: A Nexus for Cerebral Small Vessel Disease (BRENDA) is coordinated by Martin Dichgans and Frank Faraci (Iowa) and funded by Leducq Foundation >>
January 2023 – The Hertie Foundation will continue funding for its Network of Excellence in Clinical Neuroscience. The program provides support to junior scientists (four from LMU and TUM) and facilitates collaborations across participating sites. The scientific focus of the Munich site (Speakers: M. Dichgans and Thomas Korn) is on neurovascular, neurodegenerative, and neuroinflammatory diseases and their underlying mechanisms. >>
December 2022 – The European Commission will fund 14 Transnational Research Projects on CVD - among them 4 Networks with participation of ISD researchers: BiotaBB (Coordinator: C. Benakis), VasOx (Coordinator: N. Plesnila), MeniSPYs (PI: A. Liesz), and MatriSVDs (PI: Martin Dichgans). These networks focus on the role of microbiota and the blood brain-barrier, oxidative stress, the meninges, and the microvascular matrisome in stroke and neurovascular disease >>
December 2022 – Identifying subtle tissue changes at disease initiation or characterizing the molecular perturbations that trigger disease progression remains difficult in animal models or post-mortem human organs. To address this challenge, ISD investigators developed DISCO-MS, a 3D spatial-omics technology that combines methods of tissue clearing with cutting edge AI, robotics and proteomics technologies. They applied DISCO-MS to an Alzheimer’s disease mouse model and to atherosclerotic plaques in the human heart to identify spatial-molecular maps. >>
ISD’s Diversity Management is interlocked with LMU’s program on Diversity as well as programs installed by the DFG funded Excellence cluster for Systems Neurology (SyNergy) of which the ISD is part, covering a range of aspects including: Gender equality, Diversity management, Being family friendly, Inclusion and participation, Cultural diversity, Healthy university.
