History of CFIN

Center of Functionally Integrative Neuroscience (CFIN) was formed as an extension of a long-lasting scientific collaboration among brain researchers within Aarhus University Hospital. To strengthen this research, an application to Danmarks Grundforskningsfond (Danish National Research Foundation) was submitted in 2000, co-signed by:

• Professor Niels Ehlers, Ophthalmology
• Professor Christian Brahe Pedersen, ENT
• Professor Jens Astrup, Neurosurgery
• Professor Johannes Jakobsen, Neurology
• Professor Leif Østergaard, Neuroradiology Research Unit
• Professor Albert Gjedde, PET Center Aarhus
• Professor Carsten Gyldensted, Neuroradiology
• Professor Raben Rosenberg, Psychiatry
• Professor Jens Christian Djurhuus, Clinical Institute 

In October 2001 a contract was signed, granting CFIN DKK 33,765,000 to carry out research as defined in a contract. Since then, collaborations have continued to form with other Faculties within University of Aarhus, as well as other academic institutions and industry.
