Our Mission
The Michigan Neuroscience Institute is a cross- campus institute that catalyzes interdisciplinary neuroscience research across labs, departments and schools at the University of Michigan. Our mission is to leverage advances across all fields of science and engineering to solve the mysteries of the brain, advance human health, and address society’s challenges.
In July 2025, at the Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology (SBN) meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia, MNI Faculty member Dr. Jill Becker will be honored with the 2025 Daniel S. Lehrman Lifetime Achievement Award.
Four esteemed members of the Michigan Neuroscience Institute (MNI), including the institute’s executive director, have been elected as fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2024.
Join us for the 5th Annual University of Michigan Neuroscience Conference, a prime opportunity for faculty, staff, postdocs, and students to engage in scientific presentations, poster sessions, and networking with fellow university neuroscientists.
MNI Member Dr. Anne Draelos was interviewed featured in a podcast discussing who is using A.I. and bioinformatics to reveal the hidden networks of the brain, and exploring how gaining this understanding could improve lives. The podcast also gives a shout out to scientific collaboration within the university and MNI.
