Welcome to the Children's Neuroscience Institute (CNI), the destination for pediatric neuroscience research, education, and patient care.
One of the most common causes of death and disability in US children is brain injury. It can be extremely challenging to accurately diagnose and provide prognostication of neurological diseases in children. Currently, translation of therapies from laboratory to patients takes a very long time, thus, transformative approaches are... Read more...

The Children’s Neuroscience Institute (CNI) is a unique constellation of the brightest and most highly creative professionals with interest and passion in experimental and clinical research with the overarching goals of developing healthy brains and minds in children across all age groups. Topic-wise, the CNI encompasses and facilitates interdisciplinary fundamental and applied paradigm-shifting research. This research is aimed at the development of innovative concepts, methodologies, and approaches enabling breakthrough exploratory studies that lead to profound mechanistic understanding of normal neuro-development, the identification of aberrant pathogenic pathways of neurological diseases, and the discovery of personalized treatment strategies for neurologically ill and injured children.
The CNI Vision: Become a “conceptual crystallization center," an incubator for pioneering technologies and innovative studies; serving as the world’s premier destination for pediatric neuroscience research, education, and patient care.
