The Institute of Neurosciences

The Institute of Neurosciences (UBneuro) was created under the premise to gather all research at the University of Barcelona that focused on a common goal: understanding the nervous system as a whole to give response to society challenges. It is a frontrunner in international neuroscience research, being one of the few institutes in the world that investigates the brain at every level. This includes research groups in neurobiology, neuropharmacology, pathophysiology, neurology, psychiatry, clinical psychology, neuropsychobiology and cognitive neurosciences.

Research Promotion

Accordingly to the main goals of the Institute of Neurosciences, the Research Promotion Office aims to ensure that our Institute stands as a national and international referent in its research field. This excellence is achieved not only by the quality of the research and the international recognition of the investigators, but specially by the promotion of an inclusive and efficient research, aligned with social needs and based in an innovative scientific management.

Excellence

The Institute of Neurosciences is one of the few institutes in the world to study the brain at all levels. We have been recognised throughout Spain, obtaining twice the María de Maeztu seal of Excelence.

Unique

UBneuro is a frontrunner in international neuroscience research, ranging from the biology of the neuron, through the formation of neural circuits, to the global function of the brain, which is the basis of cognition and behaviour.

Interdisciplinary

This is the first Institute of Neurosciences in the country which integrates research lines in neurobiology,
neuropharmacology, physiopathology, neurology, psychiatry, clinical psychology, neuropsychobiology and
cognitive neurosciences

From the bench to the bedside

UBneuro staff is involved in 3 University Hospitals
This grants the access to large cohort of clinical populations in all diseases related to the nervous system.
