Research
The SINTN fosters a research environment that creates unprecedented opportunities to motivate and sustain interdisciplinary investigation with the goal of bringing new insights to bear on nervous system function and the neurobiology of nervous system disorders.
The SINTN is divided into five research programs charged with the mission of defining and addressing gaps in understanding in both normal neuronal function and neurological diseases. By focusing the expertise of Stanford's faculty on critical gaps in understanding, these groups can accelerate the development of new tools and concepts and speed translation of new therapies to patients.
SINTN programs are guided by a Steering Committee, an Advisory Council and an External Review Group of outstanding scientists and national leaders.
The SINTN Director reports to the Dean of the School of
Medicine and to the CEOs of Stanford Hospital and the Lucile Packard
Children's Hospital at Stanford.
