Our team

Interdisciplinary, International, Experienced

Around 80 employees conduct the Rhineland Study at the DZNE under the direction of Prof. Monique M. B. Breteler. With our world-class research and the use of the most innovative technologies, we want to explore the factors that make a healthy life possible. The Rhineland Study is a joint effort. In addition to a highly motivated team, the most important contribution is made by the participants of the study.


WHAT DRIVES US:
WE WANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO LESS SUFFERING FOR ALL GENERATIONS.
