The Research Training Group (RTG) 2824 “Heart and brain diseases: integrative research across organs”, based at the University Medical Center Göttingen, is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) from April 2023 to March 2028. The RTG 2824 aims to expand the cross-organ approach through high-end integrative research in the field of heart and brain diseases combined with top-notch training of medical doctorate and PhD students.


Scientists from the cardiovascular and neuroscience sections of the University Medical Center Göttingen and the German Primate Center work in close collaboration and offer medical students as well as PhD candidates the opportunity to perform interdisciplinary research involving the heart and brain, while simultaneously receiving disciplinary and interdisciplinary training through the qualification program. The RTG will offer doctoral students research opportunities on common mechanisms of Research Training Group 2824 cardiomyocytes and neurons as well as the heart – brain axis. The projects are designed to increase basic knowledge and tackle clinically relevant questions. The scheme depicts the research projects (RP, inner circle), research topics (middle circle) and associated clinical studies/iPSC cohort (outer circle) organized within the RTG 2824. Overarching research topics and clinical studies are shown in relation to the respective RP. Connecting lines between the RP represent the ongoing and planned collaborations.  The color gradient represents basic (red) to translational (blue) research projects.
