Stark Neurosciences Research Institute

Stark Neurosciences Research Institute, under the leadership of Executive Director Bruce T. Lamb, PhD, is dedicated to improving outcomes for persons suffering from disorders of the nervous system. For more than 20 years, Stark Neurosciences Research Institute has provided a collaborative space on the Indiana University School of Medicine campus in downtown Indianapolis where scientists and clinician-scientists from different disciplines across Indiana University can work together on translational science to investigate devastating disorders, ultimately seeking novel therapeutics to treat patients alongside partnering physicians. Researchers at the prestigious institute have made groundbreaking discoveries in Alzheimer's disease, psychiatric disorders, traumatic brain injury and much else.

Stark Neurosciences Research Institute is proud to be a member of the American Brain Coalition, a nonprofit umbrella organization of nearly 200 leading professional neurological, psychological and psychiatric associations and patient organizations, along with clinicians, researchers, academia, industry and government agencies in the United States. The coalition's goal is to increase awareness and understanding and to advocate for increased research and resources — to improve a person's quality of life and enhance a national commitment toward cures for patients with brain disorders. Stark is one of 10 academic institutions in the country dedicated to advancing brain research as members of the American Brain Coalition.
