!!!! Exciting News !!!!

Cereneo Foundation has been pushing the boundaries of research in technology for neurorehabilitation since its inception in 2017. As data-driven people, that translates into lifetime totals of: 

15 employees

8 PhD theses

25 MSc theses

28 journal publications

3 transfers into clinical application

5 research lab infrastructure developments

Now it is time for a new era. As of October 2023, the research lab will move to the newly founded Lake Lucerne Institute (LLUI) to gain access to more suitable infrastructure. We take the opportunity to also undergo a rebranding. We are really excited for this next phase in our development and are currently moving into our new offices and lab spaces. The whole team looks forward to continuing its mission and keep pushing the boundaries with you, LLUI!

This is also a moment to say thank you: To our founding members, to our supporters who have made this rapid growth possible, to our funders who believed in our ability to bring complex projects to life, and to our many collaborators along the way. Under the new brand we will be the same reliable, enthusiastic, hard-working, and scientifically integer group that you have come to know us by, and will continue all our projects with the same values that are core to our mission.

Enabling personalized and intensive therapy throughout the continuum of care

Cereneo Foundation – Center for Interdisciplinary Research (CEFIR) is a non-profit organization that conducts applied clinical research at the intersection of technology and neurorehabilitation. 

Cereneo – Center for Interdisciplinary Research (CEFIR) is a non-profit research organization with the goal of improving the standard of treatment in neurorehabilitation by furthering scientific knowledge about neurorehabilitation, especially in combination with technical and digital tools. To this end, we focus on producing high impact scientific outputs along with open datasets and open digital methods that we aim to publish in adherence to the FAIR principles. We are a strong proponent of open science and target most publications to open access journals. All of our research employees have undergone rigorous scientific training at renowned universities and most are involved at some level in teaching at universities.

Next to our main focus on research aimed at bettering the lives of those suffering from neurological disease, CEFIR has an educational aspect. Our staff supervise PhD students afrom various universities in different capacities and host opportunities for master theses or internships throughout the year. In these learning opportunities, our focus lies on scientific integrity and excellence along with personal development. 

We endeavor in a small, focussed, and highly motivated research unit to provide scientific excellence on par with larger universities in our specific topic, however with the added benefit of being able to directly access the clinical routine of patients in neurorehabilitation at cereneo – center for neurology. The clinic and the foundation are organizationally separated and there is no bearing of the clinic on the research performed at the foundation. The uniqueness of the foundation’s position has lead to us being included in a wide network of interdisciplinary teams, from the major Swiss universities and hospitals to international institutions and industry.
