Mission Statement
As we enter the 21st century, we are poised on the threshold of an era of exponentially growing discoveries about human brain and behavior, and the potential for therapies and cures of neurological diseases. The mission of the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute include:
- Building bridges across traditional academic boundaries spanning from genes and molecules to brain and behavior.
- Training graduate students at this interface as a means of preparing them to become future leaders in neuroscience research.
- Harnessing the creative energy of physical scientists to fuel technology innovations and paradigm shifts in brain studies.
- Using this synergy to build the most advanced technologies in the Brain Imaging, Molecular Imaging, and Neurogenomics Centers.
- Translating discoveries in neuroscience from basic research to human health.
