About the CSB

The Center for Stroke Research Berlin was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) between 2008 and 2018 as an Integrated Research and Treatment Center (IFB). Since June 2018 the CSB has been an independent structure within the Medical Faculty of Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin. Its goal is to optimize research conditions, to enhance career options for early career researchers as well as to improve the quality of patient-centered research for the benefit of patients. The CSB Research Groups perform disease-oriented basic research, clinical research, epidemiology and health services research related to stroke. In addition, the CSB focuses on optimizing the overall conditions. This includes the CSB Trial Team, experimental laboratories with resources for basic research, the promotion of early career scientists and projects aimed at streamlining medical care processes.
