The aim of the Clinical and Sleep Research Unit (CSRU) is first to welcome patients in need of a calm and private environment when they come to Campus Biotech to take part in research trials. For this purpose, the Facility is equipped to monitor clinically ambulatory patients. A room is dedicated to perform neuropsychological interviews and a battery of neurogical, -psychological tests frequently used is available for children and adults. Finally, a nurse/TSM technician is present on site for medical assistance if needed.

A second major axis of the platform is enabling research on sleep. We spend the third part of our life to sleep and sleep plays a fundamental role in brain functioning, like memory consolidation or emotions regulation. The platform contains two rooms each fitted with a comfortable bed. Its proximity to the other platforms, particularly MRI, is a considerable benefit and makes it possible to construct multidisciplinary research protocols where brain function can be measured using MRI before, during and after a night’s sleep.
