Neuroscience Research

With our combined strengths in stroke, brain injury, sleep disorders, neurodegenerative disease, and more, we’re building a stronger, more connected neuroscience research community.

Neuroscience research groups

Uniting our neuroscience community, we are leveraging our strengths to solve some of society’s greatest challenges. Our research groups, led by Henry Ford and MSU co-leads, guide these efforts and help expand our collective impact in:

  • Addiction – led by Amy Loree, Ph.D. and Michelle Mazei-Robison, Ph.D.
  • Degeneration – led by Shailendra Giri, Ph.D. and Caryl Sortwell, Ph.D.
  • Neurodevelopment Disorders – led by Jaspreet Singh, Ph.D. and Lucas Pozzo-Miller, Ph.D.
  • Neuro-imaging – led by Tavarekere Nagaraja, Ph.D. and Erik Shapiro, Ph.D.
  • Neuroinflammation – led by Geoffroy Laumet, Ph.D. (Henry Ford co-lead to be determined)
  • Neuropsychiatric Disorders – led by Lisa Matero, Ph.D. and Alex Johnson, Ph.D.
  • Neurovascular Science – led by Michael Chopp, Ph.D. and Chunqi Qian, Ph.D.
