The NCSAR will enhance research capacity by recruiting new faculty, postdocs and students, and building bridges between basic, clinical and public health investigators.  Contact Shilpa Buch, PhD to discuss how your project would benefit.

The center builds on existing and planned collaborations with other institutions and universities, including the VA Medical Center, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Creighton University, Kansas University Medical Center, University of Minnesota, Emory University, as well as Nanjing University in China and two institutes in India -- the Brain Research Institute, Manesar and Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Advanced Study.
