BRAIN RESEARCH AND INTEGRATIVE NEUROSCIENCE NETWORK FOR COVID-19

Descripción del proyecto

Red de investigación sobre los efectos de la COVID-19 en la salud encefálica

El objetivo del proyecto BRAINN, financiado con fondos europeos, es desarrollar un método neurocientífico innovador para caracterizar los efectos de la COVID-19 sobre el encéfalo y mejorar las normas de evaluación, pronóstico y tratamiento de pacientes con problemas neurológicos. Los equipos de diversas universidades europeas aportarán experiencia complementaria en el campo de la obtención de imágenes neurológicas, la neuroestimulación no invasiva y la experiencia en gestión de la investigación tras la COVID-19. Al iniciar actividades coordinadas de formación y creación de redes, BRAINN beneficiará a todos los socios, pues mejorará las normas de los protocolos de tratamiento y evaluación y la recopilación de datos, al tiempo que propiciará la sostenibilidad y ampliación futura de la red.

Objetivo

The Brain Research and Integrative Neuroscience Network for COVID-19 (BRAINN) will advance the research and innovation capacity of the University of Cyprus (UCY) as indicated in the Widening Participation & Strengthening the ERA Work Programme, by twinning with three advanced partners in brain research, Maastricht University (UM), Kings College London (KCL), and Ghent University (UGent). Through networking activities, training and coordinated actions, BRAINN will develop an innovative applied neuroscience approach to characterise the effects of COVID-19 on brain health and to elevate the standards of assessment, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of patients with mental health and cognitive problems due to COVID-19. The UM, KCL and UGent teams have complementary world-renowned expertise in neuroimaging, non-invasive neurostimulation and digitalised assessment methods, extensive research management experience and active interest in post-COVID research. Engaging these teams as partners will provide the required mentoring and training towards a focused and systematic approach to neuroscience research in a mutually beneficial manner to raise the research profile of UCY, as well as strengthen the research management and administrative skills of UCY staff. BRAINN will benefit all partners, as the standardisation of assessment and treatment protocols will expedite data collection and will safeguard the sustainability and future expansion of the network. Through interdisciplinary research and development of novel methods and technologies, BRAINN will contribute to personalised treatments, bringing both UCY and Cyprus to the scientific forefront. Additionally, BRAINN will address the brain drain challenge that has increased in Cyprus over the recent years and contribute to the reduction in the burden created by COVID-19. The knowledge and methodologies produced will extend beyond BRAINN, since they will be applicable to other conditions affecting brain health, even when COVID-19 is eradicated.
