Research at the LIR

At the Leibniz Institute for Resilience Research, neuroscientists, physicians and psychologists work together on an interdisciplinary basis. They combine basic molecular research, translational research with animal models and on humans using genetic, epigenetic, metabolic, biotechnological, physiological, psychological and social science methods and pursue a systems biology research approach to understanding resilience. The LIR currently consists of eleven research groups that are internationally recognized for their high-ranking scientific publications and methodological expertise. They have particular expertise in the fields of molecular biology, epigenetics and cellular neuroscience, systems biology and functional imaging, modelling and machine learning, neurostimulation, randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Furthermore, three research platforms have been established whose services are also made available to cooperation partners for a fee.
