The Society for the Study of Neuroprotection and Neuroplasticity (SSNN) was established in 2005 by an international group of clinicians and basic researchers at the initiative of Prof. Dr. Dafin F. Muresanu, “Iuliu Hatieganu” University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Cluj-Napoca, Romania, in order to promote a strong collaboration platform for translational medicine and to strength the knowledge flow from academic community to practitioners.
SSNN is a scientific organization focusing on basic and clinical research, creating a discussion forum to contribute to a better understanding of endogenous basic biological processes and consequently the development of pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies for positive manipulation of neurotrophicity, neuroprotection, neuroplasticity, and neurogenesis.
Soon after its establishment, the SSNN became an affiliated organ of the Global College of Neuroprotection and Neuroregeneration (GCNN), founded by Russell Pendleton, London, UK and Hari Shanker Sharma, Uppsala, Sweden in 2004. Until this day, the SSNN has managed to establish scientific and academic relations with prestigious European and international institutions, like the European Academy of Neurology (EAN), the European Federation of Neurorehabilitation Societies (EFNR), World Federation of Neurorehabilitation Societies (WFNR), "IuIiu Haţieganu" University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Cluj-Napoca, Romania, Tel Aviv University, Danube University Krems, Austria and the "RoNeuro" Institute for Neurological Research and Diagnostic.
