Faculty
Support our team of over 80 faculty members dedicated to uncovering the secrets of the nervous system. With researchers spanning expertise from molecular neuroscience to behavioral and computational neuroscience, SNBI takes a comprehensive approach that leaves no stone unturned. Our researchers are committed to understanding the mechanisms underlying the healthy development and function of the brain, and how devastating brain disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease, Schizophrenia, addiction, and depression hijack these mechanisms.
Technology
Invest in state-of-the-art neuroscience infrastructure that is shared across SNBI, promoting the success of all researchers (including newest team members) and empowering them to address previously unanswerable questions. By providing team members with technological support, we enable them to prioritize what matters most - the research itself.
Graduate education
Empower the future leaders of neuroscience. SNBI’s Graduate Neuroscience Program is a highly-competitive PhD program committed to nourishing the next generation neuroscientists. Our program offers a unique and comprehensive neuroscience training experience, uniting expert research mentors across multiple disciplines.
Community engagement
Promote science literacy and interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers among children. SNBI’s community outreach team organizes and hosts engaging, interactive lessons designed to educate children about the human nervous system and what it means to be a neuroscientist. Our team is committed to empowering students of all backgrounds to be curious about brain science.
Center for the Resilient Mind
“The FAU Center for the Resilient Mind offers a remarkable opportunity to bring together neuroscientists, educators and brain health advocates to understand and build resilience across the lifespan, for ourselves, our families, and our communities.”
