About SBRI

Mission

The mission of the Stanford Brain Research Institute is to capture world leadership in research and training by promoting and integrating basic and clinical multidisciplinary brain research at Stanford. Departmental coordination in support of faculty recruitment helps departments attract top neuroscience faculty, and enables the institution to accommodate rapid developments in the field and maintain an appropriate balance neuroscience research that spans from molecules to brain and behavior. The SBRI promotes an interactive environment and sponsors educational programs that fosters collaborative research and facilitate bench to bedside efforts. The existence of the SBRI and its programs, its success in fostering collegial interactions and collaborations, and its proactive initiatives help to attract sponsored research and private support for which individual Stanford brain research efforts are not competitive or currently unavailable.
