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.
Turning muscles into motors gives static organs new life
The biohybrid system developed by researchers at the K. Lisa Yang Center for Bionics is the first living implant that uses rewired nerves to revive paralyzed organs.
