Collaboration

The students are like vectors of transmission between the laboratories ... a powerful and healthy aspect of the department ...

The entities below assist students in building successful collaborations across labs at Harvard and other institutions.

Harvard Brain Science Initiative HBI was formed in 2015 to coordinate the large number of neuroscience labs and resources at Harvard, and offers seed grants, organizes seminars and other events, and promotes collaboration among neuroscience labs across Harvard.

Harvard NeuroDiscovery Center  The NeuroDiscovery Center promotes collaboration specifically among labs and facilities seeking to cure neurologic and psychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, MS, ALS, and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Core Facilities at Harvard Medical School  Core scientific facilities support research and collaboration by providing access to services, equipment, and staff that would be too expensive or difficult for a single lab to provide.  

Center for Brain Science  The Center for Brain Science, based on the Harvard campus in Cambridge, unites researchers pursuing the discovery of the function and structure of neural circuits.  Members of CBS come from the Department of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard, the School of Engineering at Harvard, and many of the local hospitals.
