Picture a world where the memory impairment of a loved one can be flagged as a potential case of Alzheimer’s disease, years before any harmful and long-lasting issues arise. Or one where groundbreaking technologies can map a detailed image of your brain to make discoveries undetectable to the human eye.
Experts at UF are diving deep into the mysteries of the brain, exploring innovative tools like artificial intelligence to reimagine neuroscience and neuromedicine research and care.
Such a world already exists, with clinicians, researchers and trainees at the University of Florida College of Medicine working diligently to bring these and other advances to the forefront of patient care in neurology and neurosurgery.
From harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and the latest breakthroughs in neuroimaging technology to leading grassroots efforts to address the mental health of community members, the UF College of Medicine has emerged as a global presence in neuroscience and neuromedicine. With record-breaking research funding and a determination to train upcoming leaders in the discipline, UF clinicians and researchers are positioned to take on new challenges and lead the field for years to come.
Read more in the series below about the advances and programs currently underway, the new technologies being used to improve health outcomes and the dedicated people who are making waves in the field of neuroscience and neuromedicine at Florida’s flagship university.
