AI atlas reveals systemic-injury caused by obesity

May 2026 – Ali Erturk and his team have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) framework that maps disease-related changes throughout the entire mouse body at cellular resolution. Using MouseMapper, the researchers uncovered widespread inflammation and previously unrecognized damage to specific sensory nerves caused by obesity and also identified corresponding molecular signatures in human tissue, suggesting that key features of obesity-associated injury are conserved across species >>

CRC1744 Launch – Kick-off Event

April 2026 – With the official launch of CRC1744 we welcomed principal investigators and early career researchers as well as distinguished guest speakers to a one-day kick-off meeting. The event featured keynote lectures, selected PI talks and scientific discussions opening space for collaborative projects and workshops on implementation of the CRC's support measures >>

New human cell model to study Tauopathies

April 2026 – Dominik Paquet and his team developed a human iPSC-derived neuronal model that mimics late-stage tauopathies by inducing adult-like 4R tau expression and combining disease mutations. The model reproduces tau aggregation, misfolding, and neuronal deficits, enabling investigation of disease mechanisms and supporting translational applications such as drug testing and biomarker validation >>

Diversity at the ISD

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.

The ISD hosts researchers from 30 countries apart from Germany
