Feinberg Clinical Neuroscience Research Institute
Scientific Collaboration
The Feinberg Clinical Neuroscience Research Institute was established in 1996 to coordinate clinical neuroscience research and training at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine with clinical programs at Northwestern Memorial Hospital (NMH). The institute serves to advance the scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of stroke and catalyze further interdepartmental and inter-institutional efforts. It shares resources, faculty members, and ideas with other entities and provides them with an unusual opportunity to strengthen established initiatives and achieve new partnerships.
The institute's current focus is on stroke. Other priority areas are epilepsy, translational cellular biology, neurogenetics, cognitive neuroscience, neuro-imaging, neuro-immunology, neurological critical care, neuromuscular disease, neuro-oncology, movement disorders, schizophrenia, depression, and sleep disorders.
Institute centers and programs will continue to build links with academic departments throughout the medical school and University, Northwestern Memorial Hosital, Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation, and Northwestern University Institute for Neuroscience.
Leadership and Administration
The broad mission of the Feinberg Clinical Neuroscience Research Institute is to develop and foster research and educational programs in the clinical neurosciences and enhance patient care. An administrative team and executive committee are responsible for recommending policy, allocating resources, overseeing program activities, and coordinating institute activities with clinical units such as Northwestern Memorial Hospital and the Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation.
