Shaping the Future of Brain Health, One Neuron at a Time
From basic science research to clinical science, the Moody Brain Health Institute (MBHI) is the home of all biomedical neuroscience areas of excellence at UTMB where life-changing discoveries in the neurological sciences will be fast-tracked into the clinical realm. The MBHI will be a world-renowned hub of neuroscience, addressing fundamental unanswered questions to provide health and healing, for the most debilitating illnesses, including Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders, chronic pain, diseases of dependency, mental health disorders, neurological trauma, stroke, and rehabilitation post neurologic insult. The MBHI will brand UTMB as the recognized leader in brain health by setting the highest standards of neuroscience healthcare, driven by the most rigorous and innovative basic science and clinical research.
Welcome to the future of brain health, one neuron at a time.
