Neuro-SysMed is a Norwegian Centre of Excellence for clinical treatment research focusing on multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and dementia. The Centre is hosted by Haukeland University Hospital in partnership with the University of Bergen and Haraldsplass Deaconess Hospital in Bergen, Norway, and the Lawson Health Research Institute in London, Ontario, Canada (until 2023). Neuro-SysMed is funded by The Research Council of Norway and the host and partner institutions.

The Neuro-SysMed activities are organized into four disease-focused nodes: Multiple sclerosis, led by Professor Kjell-Morten Myhr; Parkinson's disease, led by Professor Charalampos Tzoulis; Dementia, led by Dr Kristoffer Haugarvoll; ALS, led by Professor Ole-Bjørn Tysnes; and Care, led by Professor Bettina Husebø.
In addition, we are running cutting edge translational research organized into: the Drug Discovery Node, led by Professors Aurora Martinez and Trond Riise, coordinating drug discovery activities for novel and repurposed compounds; the Cell Models Node, led by Dr Christian Dölle, coordinating development and characterisation of cell models for the purpose of drug discovery; the Systems Biology & Bioinformatics Node, led by Dr Gonzalo Sanchez Nido and Dr Dimitrios Klefogiannis, coordinating data integration, multimodal analyses and bioinformatics – an essential part of our systems medicine activity; and the Responsible Research and Innovation & Patient and Public Involvement (RRI/ PPI) Node, led by Professor Jan Reinert Karlsen and Dr Caroline Engen, coordinating RRI/PPI and philosophy of neurodegeneration.
