History
The institute was founded in 1990 under the auspices of the Cyprus Foundation for Muscular Dystrophy Research.[2] Its establishment was led by neurologist Lefkos Middleton, who served as the institute’s first director until 1999.[3]
CING initially operated in temporary facilities at Makarios III Hospital in Nicosia, occupying approximately 300 m² with a staff of around 20.[4] In 1995, the institute moved to purpose-built premises to expand its clinical, laboratory, and research work.[5]
Since its establishment, CING has been supported partly through annual funding from the Government of Cyprus in exchange for specialised clinical and diagnostic services provided to the national health system.[6] Additional funding has been secured through competitive national and European research grants, philanthropic donations, and international collaborations.[7]
