The Cambridge Mind and Brain Institute brings together researchers from across the University to work alongside patients, carers, practitioners, policymakers and innovators to help understand and support individuals experiencing cognitive and emotional difficulties at every stage of life.
The Cambridge Mind and Brain Institute, announced on 25th September 2026 ahead of its official launch in in April 2027, brings together diverse expertise to tackle these challenges. Researchers will have access to cutting-edge on-site neuroimaging and brain stimulation techniques, supported by technical expertise, advanced methods advice and scientific computing. The facilities can also be used by members of the wider research community.
The institute will train tomorrow’s translational cognitive neuroscientists through its postgraduate research degrees, taught programmes, shorter courses and training workshops. This autumn, it will welcome its first cohorts of postgraduate students and researchers to the new MPhil in NeuroAI and Intelligent Systems and established MPhil in Cognitive Neurosciences. Both programmes provide exceptional foundation training in cutting-edge research topics and techniques.
Professor Deborah Prentice, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, said:
“The Cambridge Mind and Brain Institute will unite world-class research, facilities and the lived experiences of patients and partners. By unlocking the mysteries of brain and mind health, it aims to transform how we understand and support individuals experiencing cognitive and emotional difficulties at every stage of life.”
