At the Mass General Brigham Neuroscience Institute, we are redefining what’s possible in brain and nervous system care. As a global leader in the research and treatment of complex neurological conditions, we unite world-class clinical expertise, groundbreaking science, and deep commitment to expanding access for underserved populations.
With one in three people worldwide now affected by neurological disease, our mission has never been more urgent. We are focused on improving patient outcomes and advancing scientific discovery through expertise across various subspecialties.
An institute at Mass General Brigham brings together specialized care, research, education, and community engagement into one unified framework. This model allows us to focus on advancing innovation within specific fields while fostering collaboration and community engagement to address complex health challenges.
This model is part of Mass General Brigham’s four-part mission to:
Our institutes collaborate with clinicians, researchers, educators, and industry partners both within Mass General Brigham and beyond. Through collaboration and funding, we are able to expand our impact and deliver cutting-edge care.
Patients also benefit from our close connection to world-class research and education, which helps bring the most promising therapies and evidence-based practices directly to the bedside.
