FAU researchers are pioneering a new approach to treating glioblastoma - a highly aggressive brain cancer with one of the highest mortality rates - by targeting the gene MBLAC1 for the first time.
Florida Atlantic NEUROSCIENCE—Where Discovery Comes to Mind
The Florida Atlantic Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute supports research, education and community outreach, with efforts spanning all of the Florida Atlantic campuses. The Brain Institute administrative home is on the Florida Atlantic MacArthur campus in Jupiter, Fla., which also houses the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College, the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience and The Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation and Technology.
With more than 100 neuroscience faculty-level investigators located at Florida Atlantic and affiliate research centers, the Brain Institute supports state-of-the-art research and innovative educational activities and is the sponsor for the Florida Atlantic Neuroscience Student Organization.
Collectively, we seek to unlock the secrets of brain development, function and plasticity and how the mechanisms uncovered can be compromised to drive brain disorders, such as autism,, schizophrenia, depression and Alzheimer’s disease.
The Future of Brain Science & Education Depends on You.

COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHTS
ASCEND took Brain Sparks to the Garden's Mall for a day of brainy fun. Family's were invited to craft neurons, participate in games using EEGs, and craft an egg helmet.
The SNBI community outreach team hosted the AAUW's Tech Trek summer camp neuroscience course. A class of 12 à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã completed activities including brain dissections, craft-a-neuron, and real molecular biology experiments.
