Neuroscience in Cambridge

Cambridge Neuroscience is critical in bringing together the wide range of disciplines that we need to understand the brain.

Leszek Borysiewicz

Cambridge has a long and proud tradition of transforming the way we think about the world. Its strength lies in its ability to bring together the best minds from every field of knowledge and help them work together in the service of society.

Cambridge Neuroscience is critical in bringing together the wide range of disciplines that we need to understand the brain. As an Interdisciplinary Research Centre, it links principal investigators from over 60 different departments and institutes across the University. Connecting biologists with computer scientists, psychiatrists, social scientists, epidemiologists and neurologists has led to life-changing discoveries. Cambridge Neuroscience is a vibrant, active and highly collaborative research community.

It is this approach that holds the key to unlocking the secrets of the brain and the mind. That is why I am so proud of Cambridge Neuroscience, its history of transformative research, its track record of breakthrough discoveries, and its ability to break down barriers between science and business. I look forward to a future of even more brilliant research and discovery.
