Partner Presentation

The UMCU harbours the Rudolf Magnus Institute (RMI), the major clinical, preclinical and fundamental neuroscience institute with focus on neurodevelopmental disorders, predominantly autism and schizophrenia. It is allied to the Hubrecht Institute, the Dutch stronghold in fundamental research on development and stem cells. The RMI has access to over 1000 new patients per year in psychiatry and is equipped with advanced human molecular genetics and imaging using 3T and 7T MRI scanners. It is a training site for diagnostic instruments of ASD. Clinical research has a focus on neuroimaging and genetics. Preclinical research is focused on neurodevelopmental functions of disease genes in mouse models and translation to experimental treatments. Fundamental research concerns mechanisms of development and stem cells.
