BIOMED is a multidisciplinary institute where fundamental as well as applied scientific research, innovation and education are carried out in a stimulating academic environment within the domain of life sciences.

High quality fundamental and applied research is performed in a limited number of selected core domains relevant to human health and disease. Scientific services are conducted in activity fields closely related to our ...

The BBCO research group focuses its research on the comprehensive study of mental processes and their biological (brain and body) correlates in different domains of human functioning and behavior, such as cognition, social judgment, affect, well-being and sleep. Without doubt, the study of the brain and body, and its related mental processes is at the forefront of current research in many disciplines of psychology. Together with behavioral ...

The research of the Laboratory for Cognitive Neurology focuses on cognitive domains selective attention, language and semantic memory.

Laboratory of Molecular Neuro Biomarker Research

Laboratory for Muscle Diseases and Neuropathies

The topic of my research group is focused on neuromuscular disorders, in particular on muscle diseases (both acquired and hereditary muscle diseases). My research comprises very distinct aspects of these diseases: clinical, genetic, histopathological, neurophysiological and imaging studies and genotype-phenotype correlations, as well as pathophysiological studies to understand the ...

The Laboratory for Neuro- and Psychophysiology investigates neural processes underlying visual cognition, mainly of extrastriate or higher order cortices, of human and non-human primates.

The main tools are single-cell and multiple cell recordings, human and awake monkey fMRI, stimulation and inactivation studies, behavioural studies and modeling.

Particular topics of present interest are animate and inanimate object processing, ...

The Laboratory of Neurobiology focuses on the mechanisms of acute and chronic axonal and neuronal degeneration and regeneration, aiming to contribute to the development of new therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative disorders. We intensively study motor neuron diseases (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and hereditary motor neuropathies), frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and stroke.
