Unraveling the Mysteries of the Brain
Our Mission
Our mission is to understand the brain and to apply that knowledge to help people with brain disorders. To accomplish these goals, we study the brain at many levels – from molecular genetics to functional brain imaging - and we collaborate with academic, clinical, and industry partners around the world to challenge and probe the unknown. By exploring the origins of disease, our research also lays the foundation for improved treatments for those suffering from brain disorders.
More about us
Powered by viruses
McGovern scientists are harnessing viruses’ natural abilities to tease apart the brain’s circuitry, learn how those circuits work, and treat disease.
