Heart & Brain Center Göttingen (HBCG)

Welcome to the website of the Heart & Brain Center Göttingen (HBCG) of the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG). Our center is dedicated to research into the cross-organ causes of common diseases of the cardiovascular and nervous systems. By bringing together the two main areas of research at the UMG, we offer a unique platform for investigating the complex interplay between the heart and brain.
The simultaneous focus on the heart and brain enables us to gain important insights, as both systems have fundamental molecular and functional similarities. Despite these similarities, the exact mechanisms underlying the interactions between heart and brain are still largely unexplored.
Our most important goal is translational research: we want to ensure that findings from basic research are translated into clinical trials as quickly as possible in order to provide patients with the best possible treatment. Through close collaboration between cardiology and neurology, we strive to develop innovative treatment methods and improve healthcare in the long term.
We invite you to visit our website to find out more about our research projects and results.

With kind regards
