The Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research, together with the Department of Neurology at the University Hospital Tübingen, forms the “Hertie Centre of Neurology.” It is dedicated to research, teaching, and patient care concerning all aspects of the human brain.
Our Vision
Creating the foundations for the medicine of the future
Through a deeper understanding of the brain, its health, and its diseases, the Hertie Centre enables new approaches in diagnostics, therapies, and prevention. By undertaking interdisciplinary and translational research approaches, it builds bridges between scientific disciplines, basic research, and clinical application. Together, we lay the groundwork for the medicine of the future, thus making a direct contribution to tackling the societal challenges posed by neurological diseases. The expertise, curiosity, perseverance, and enthusiasm of all employees are our most valuable asset.
Our Mission
Individual excellence – shared breakthroughs
The Hertie Centre brings together excellence across the entire spectrum of neuroscience and neurology – from molecular and systems-based basic research to patient-centered clinical application. Open structures foster close collaboration across disciplines and create synergies that give rise to innovative solutions. In this way, collective excellence becomes the driving force behind breakthroughs in science and medicine.
Innovation – the driving force for research and care
The Hertie Centre develops, applies, and promotes innovative technologies to strengthen interdisciplinary research and patient care. Openness, agility, and dynamism, combined with flat hierarchies, create an environment in which new ideas are quickly taken up and advanced. In this way, we are shaping the future of neuroscience and neurology.
Fostering talent
The Hertie Centre takes pride in its scientific and clinical talents. It provides an environment that optimally supports the education and development of highly gifted young researchers as well as physicians. The focus is on early scientific independence and integrative training, shaping the leading personalities of tomorrow.
Strong in networks
The Hertie Centre is part of Tübingen’s long-standing neuroscientific tradition and, together with its partners, paves new and successful paths for research and clinical practice. We think of collaboration beyond boundaries – locally, nationally, and internationally – and thus create strong alliances that sustainably advance neuroscience and clinical medicine.
