Historical Note

The Oregon Health & Science University is a national leader in neuroscience research and clinical care, and in the study and treatment of brain and nervous system conditions. The U.S. National Institutes of Health ranks OHSU in the top 1 percent in the nation for neuroscience research funding. In 2006, OHSU established the OHSU Brain Institute (OBI) to build on this tremendous strength in neurosciences.

OBI includes eight departments in the OHSU School of Medicine and five research institutes. It was organized to advance understanding of the treatment and prevention of nervous system diseases by promoting interdisciplinary research in basic (laboratory) and clinical (patient care) neuroscience. Having OBI increases OHSU’s ability to conduct neuroscience research, provide world-class health care and tell our stories of neuroscience discovery to the public.

Our vision is to transform these discoveries of nervous system diseases and nervous system disorders, into new treatments bringing better health care to Oregon and beyond.
