The Program for Interdisciplinary Neuroscience is a hospital-wide program with a mission to support collaborations across departments and disciplines as they relate to neuroscience and brain disorders research.
Brain disorders, including neurodegenerative disease, mental illness, brain injuries and brain tumors, are among the most complex of all diseases, and collectively they represent an enormous burden on patients, families and societies worldwide.
At BWH we are ideally placed to tackle these challenges, given our unmatched combination of clinical and research expertise, our educational mission including our affiliation to Harvard Medical School, and our deep connections to the wider Boston biomedical community.
Historically, brain diseases have been treated and studied in different clinical departments and disciplines, including neurology, psychiatry, neurosurgery, radiology, pathology and others. As we learn more about the brain, however, these boundaries appear increasingly artificial, and our goal is to break down the barriers between these traditionally siloed disciplines and to promote interdisciplinary collaborations in basic and clinical research. By joining forces in this way, we can pave the way to new treatments and improve the lives of our patients and their families.
