Healthy Brain for a
Healthy Society

Directors Message

The Centre for Neurodegeneration & Brain Health (CENABH) marks a transformative step in our pursuit to understand the brain’s complexities.As an interdisciplinary research institution, CENABH is dedicated to unraveling the molecular mechanisms behind neurodegenerative conditions and translating discoveries into impactful clinical and social interventions. At CENABH, we bridge fundamental science with real-world application, ensuring that innovations and insights swiftly reach those who need them most. India's rich cultural diversity offers a unique foundation to explore grassroots approaches to mental well- being, from traditional practices to cultural expressions, through a non-Western, culturally sensitive lens.

Despite significant advances, many mechanisms of brain dysfunction remain poorly understood, posing challenges to individual and public health. Our priorities include preventing brain disorders, mitigating risk factors, developing robust support systems, and delivering evidence-based interventions. CENABH stands apart through interdisciplinary collaboration, cultural inclusivity, rapid knowledge translation, cutting-edge technology, and deep community engagement.

By addressing local neurological challenges through systematic, relevant scientific research, CENABH ensures neuroscience advancements benefit the communities we serve. Brain health is a shared responsibility, and by uniting researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and communities, we aim to advance neuroscience and improve lives through scientific rigor, cultural wisdom, and human compassion. Together, let us build a future where understanding the brain leads to healthier individuals, thriving communities, and a resilient ecosystem.
