Institute hosts Night at the Museum in Chicago

October 21, 2019

On Oct. 20, the Purdue Institute for Integrative Neuroscience hosted a Night at the Museum reception at the Field Museum in Chicago. The event, which coincided with the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting, highlighted the ingenuity and passion of leading neuroscience researchers at Purdue.

One of the main goals in hosting this event was to expand the institute's network of supporters and partners. With rising numbers of people being diagnosed with neurological disorders such as autism, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease and suffering from traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, there is great urgency for new and better treatments. 

Since its founding four years ago, the Purdue Institute for Integrative Neuroscience (PIIN) has established itself as a leader in the integration of engineering and life sciences, from groundbreaking discoveries to the delivery of new treatments and diagnostic tools to patients. Watch our wrap-up video here.
