Research at INCI aims to understand the development and function of the nervous and neuroendocrine systems at the molecular, cellular and integrative levels using a wide range of experimental approaches.
Currently, twelve research groups are working in three departments:
The institute is CNRS laboratory associated to the Université de Strasbourg and member of the IFR des Neurosciences de Strasbourg and of the tri-national research network Neurex.
