The Rosenkranz Aging and Rejuvenation Seed Grant Program announced eight innovative new research projects with additional support from the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience

The Maximizing Innovation in Neuroscience Discovery Prizes will give Faculty Scholar Guosong Hong and Knight Initiative-supported researcher Pascal Geldsetzer $750,000 each over three years to develop research on neurodegenerative diseases.

The Knight Initiative’s Fall Symposium featured researchers building new molecular atlases of the brain alongside new updates on neurodegenerative disease and what might be done about it.

Knight Initiative-funded research ran the gamut from chemistry to public health, but one theme brought it all together: Studying what makes the brain resilient will help more people live better lives.

How does the brain wire itself for learning? What molecular mechanisms protect neural circuits during aging? These are just some of the research projects by the 2025 Neurosciences Postdoctoral Scholars.

The Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience supports 14 high-risk, high-reward projects to advance brain health and resilience research, fostering bold research across various scientific disciplines.

The Knight Initiative's Year-End Symposium and Research Showcase featured a wide range of promising new approaches to understanding brain aging, resilience, and neurodegeneration.

We are proud to welcome the 2024 Neurosciences Postdoctoral Scholars — ten young scientists pursuing novel, multi-disciplinary approaches to understanding the workings of the brain.

The Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute at Stanford University is proud to announce the recipients of its fifth round of Seed Grants.

Interdisciplinary Postdocs and Brain Resilience Scholars will advance knowledge of brain health and aging.

The Phil and Penny Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience is proud to announce the recipients of its inaugural 2022 Innovation and Catalyst Grants.
