Purdue Institute for Integrative Neuroscience

Spanning 25 departments across six colleges, Purdue’s neuroscience enterprise, part of the Pillars of Excellence in the Life Sciences, already includes around 100 faculty with ongoing neuroscience-related research activities or interests. This deep pool of human resources has positioned Purdue well in several target research areas within the broad field of neuroscience, and the new center will synergize these efforts for national and international impact.

Purdue Policy Research Institute

The Purdue Policy Research Institute’s aims to foster high-impact, interdisciplinary research in established and emerging areas of strategic focus, and leverage extant research to maximize impact. The Institute catalyzes and leverages extant policy-relevant transdisciplinary research among members of the Purdue research community, facilitates enduring connections among local and global actors, and generates impact on policymaking and beyond. We are guided by the principle that policy development must consider the interdependencies among technological, economic, ethical, and social factors.  

Regenstrief Center for Healthcare Engineering
