Research at the Department of Neurosurgery focuses on the major neurosurgical diseases, on patient treatment, and developments in patient care and logistics.
The department houses the Center for Experimental Neuroscience which focuses on development of large animal models for neurological, neurosurgical, and psychiatric disorders. The animal models serve as a test platform for new treatments and technical developments within the neurological and neurosurgical specialities.
The Center for Experimental Neuroscience (CENSE) is part of the Danish Neuroscience Center (DNC) at Aarhus University Hospital that excels in translational research from molecule to man.
The Department of Neurosurgery has established an interdisciplinary research team to strengthen the neurosurgical area of specialisation through interdisciplinary research and development. Work is carried out to ensure and further develop the active research environment in collaboration with Danish Neuroscience Center.
The interdisciplinary research team works to make the neurosurgical research visible through publication in scientific journals and through presentation in printed and electronic media. We work to strengthen the collaboration between the university-based research units and other relevant research units, both nationally and internationally.
