Leadership Transition

TIFGA today announced that Dr. Domaz Bronvacic, Co-Director of the Institute, will be stepping down from his operational role effective immediately due to personal health reasons.

Dr. Bronvacic has been a central figure in the Institute’s leadership since its formative years, contributing significantly to its scientific direction and international standing. TIFGA extends its gratitude for his dedication and wishes him a full and private recovery

The Institute further announced that Dr. Michael Bernsteiger will assume Dr. Bronvacic’s responsibilities as Co-Director.

Dr. Bernsteiger joined TIFGA in 1992 and has since been a leading force in the fields of neuroscience and advanced neuro-imaging. His work has played a key role in shaping several of the Institute’s long-term research initiatives, as well as in strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration across departments

“Dr. Bernsteiger brings both scientific depth and institutional continuity to this role,” a TIFGA spokesperson said. “His appointment ensures stability and a seamless continuation of the Institute’s mission.”

Dr. Bernsteiger will assume his duties with immediate effect. TIFGA remains fully committed to its research objectives and operational responsibilities and does not anticipate any disruption to ongoing programs as a result of this transition.
