Project description
Empowering future leaders in neurotherapy
Brain diseases pose a significant challenge in European healthcare, affecting millions and straining resources. Many existing treatments are not tailored to individual patient needs, leading to suboptimal outcomes. There is a pressing need for innovative and safer therapeutic approaches to address this crisis. Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the NeuroAdapt project has been launched. Led by the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, NeuroAdapt aims to equip the next generation of research leaders with essential skills. Operating within FutureNeuro, a leading Science Foundation Ireland Centre, the project links neurodiagnostics and therapeutics with a national digital health infrastructure. Fellows will gain hands-on research experience, be offered industry placements, and attend workshops, fostering collaboration across diagnostics, therapeutics, and digital health to improve patient care.
Objective
The overall objective of NeuroAdapt, led by the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, is to train and there by equip the next generation of researcher leaders with the scientific and transferable skills to catalyse their careers, both in academia or beyond, and develop much needed innovative, safer, and more effective therapeutic approaches to brain diseases, one of the most pressing challenges in European healthcare, tailored specifically towards individual patient needs. Fellows will work within FutureNeuro, a world-leading Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) Centre, bringing together Ireland’s leading researchers in the field of neurodiagnostics, neurotherapeutics and digital health. In an internationally unique manner, FutureNeuro links innovative neurodiagnostics and neurotherapeutics development with a national digital health infrastructure and a nationwide clinical network. NeuroAdapt will build on the excellent research environment and expertise of the FutureNeuro centre, providing a fertile training ground for the Fellows. Researcher training will include a unique combination of “hands-on” research training, placements in industry and hospital settings and courses and workshops on scientific, industry-related and transferable skills facilitated by the academic and non-academic composition. Importantly, with its strong focus on industry-related diagnostics and drug discovery programs, NeuroAdapt will facilitate the implementation of novel discoveries into clinical use. Adhering to the COFUND principle of ‘individual-driven mobility’, NeuroAdapt applicants will freely choose, according to their individual needs, from a wide range of research fields, host organisations, supervisors and secondment organisations. NeuroAdapt Fellows will work in highly interdisciplinary projects, sharing expertise and adding value across the neuroscience research landscape. Proposals can be submitted around the three themes of diagnostics, therapeutics and digital health.
