Organisation

The Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology is a Foundation under public law. The purpose of our foundation is to promote science and basic research in the field of neurobiology. The combination of molecular and cell biological neurosciences with system-oriented brain research serves a better understanding of learning and memory. The supervisory authority of the LIN is the Ministry of Science, Energy, Climate Protection and Environment of the State of Saxony-Anhalt.

Our institute comprises 6 scientific departments, 5 research groups and 2 support units as well as the administration and service units. The departments form the scientific backbone of the house. They ensure continuity of LIN research. The research groups are independent of the departments and serve to attract complementary research topics and promising young scientists. Groups may be temporary or permanent in nature and are mainly financed by third party funds. The support units were set up to maintain state-of-the art technology and equipment for LIN research. They provide internal and external service, but also pursue third-party-based own research projects.
