Unraveling the Mysteries of the Brain
About Us
Our mission is to understand the brain and to apply that knowledge to improve human health and well-being.
We blend engineering ingenuity with scientific exploration, accelerating our fundamental understanding of the brain and positioning the McGovern Institute as a transformative leader in the field.
From gene therapies to bionic limbs, our innovations become actionable solutions for some of the world’s most pressing challenges.
A bionic knee integrated into tissue can restore natural movement
In a small clinical study, users of this prosthesis navigated more easily and said the limb felt more like part of their body.
