At the Institute for Theoretical 伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏icine (ITM), our research focuses on the nervous system, the immune and cardiovascular systems, and energy metabolism, with a particular emphasis on systemic and cellular signaling processes. In alignment with the central research focus areas set by the 伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏 伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏icine Augsburg —?Environmental Health Sciences and?伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏ical Information Sciences?— we investigate the complex influences of environmental and biopsychosocial factors on the organism. Our goal is to contribute to the development of new therapeutic approaches and their translation into clinical practice.

What happens in the brain after a stroke?
Strokes are one of the main causes of long-term physical and cognitive impairment. A DFG project at the 伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏 of Augsburg is researching cellular level processes in the brain following an ischemic stroke, in which the blood supply to the brain is interrupted. These processes are poorly understood and could be the key to new therapies.
