The (Clinical) Institute of Neurology (IN) of the Medical University Vienna was founded in 1882 by Heinrich Obersteiner. It is the oldest institution embracing the multidisciplinarity of neurosciences and has served as model for the establishment of similarly designed institutions in many countries. The original location of the then Neurological Institute in Vienna was at Schwarzspanierstrasse. Since 1993, IN is located in the Vienna General Hospital in top-class laboratory facilities. IN is committed to its proud tradition as Obersteiner Institute and to a promising future of a nationally and internationally leading institution in the clinical neurosciences. Our work aims to translate the understanding of nervous diseases to the development of novel therapeutics and diagnostics. IN''''s tasks include diagnostic patient service, research and graduate / postgraduate teaching in neuropathology, neurochemistry, and neuro-molecular biology in an integrated way. Neuropathology is a recognized medical specialty in Austria. It analyzes structural changes of nervous tissues in disease. Diagnostic neuropathology makes use of most modern morphological techniques applied to diseased central, peripheral and vegetative nervous tissues and fluids, and muscle. Neuropathological diagnoses are a basis for disease classification and rational therapies. Neurodegenerative disorders, in particular prion diseases, virus diseases affecting the nervous system, and brain tumors (neuro-oncology) are research priorities. In the highly publicized area of prion diseases, IN has developed into a national and international center of excellence and expertise that leads several European, EU-funded networks in prion research. As an indispensable asset, the IN possesses a large brain bank that has systematically collected neuropathological specimens since 1948. Most samples are fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue only, but in a part of neurosurgical, nerve and muscle biopsies and autopsies, also fresh tissue is obtained, frozen and stored at -80 degrees C. Occasionally blood and CSF are also available. The unique neuropathological collection of histological slides, paraffin blocks and formol-fixed nervous tissues now comprises about 16.000 brain autopsies, 30.000 neurosurgical and 7.500 nerve/muscle biopsies. Also a number of cell cultures have been stored, mainly fibroblasts from patients with rare neurometabolic diseases, and primary cultures of brain tumors. IN participates in the EU-supported European Network of Brain Banks BrainNet Europe.

Supports research and scholarship to improve the quality of life by providing funding for grants in three program areas: studying complex systems, understanding human cognition, and mathematical and complex systems approaches for brain cancer. Types of awards include Fellowship Awards, Scholar Awards, and Collaborative Awards. * Studying Complex Systems: This program supports scholarship and research directed toward the development of theoretical and mathematical tools that can be applied to the study of complex, adaptive, nonlinear systems. It is anticipated that research funded in this program will address issues in fields such as biology, biodiversity, climate, demography, epidemiology, technological change, economic development, governance, or computation. * Understanding Human Cognition: This program supports research studying how neural systems are linked to and support cognitive functions and how cognitive systems are related to an organism's (preferably human) observable behavior. Studies with model organisms should justify why such models were selected and how data obtained from models advances our understanding of human cognition. * Mathematical & Complex Systems Approaches for Brain Cancer: (Collaborative Activity Awards grant type only.) Despite some recent cause for optimism for advancing the clinical treatment of brain cancers, for many patients brain tumor remains a devastating diagnosis. Progress against this disease has been stymied by limited understandings of the molecular, metabolic, and physiological characteristics of human brain cancers across multiple temporal and spatial scales and by the failure of many preclinical models to predict patient responses.
