Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind (KIBM) researchers bridge disciplinary boundaries to further our understanding of the origins, development, evolution, and mechanisms of brain function, from the brain's physical and biochemical machinery to the experiences and behaviors we call the mind.
We support innovative research in the La Jolla area through grants to teams of investigators working on problems at the boundaries of our current knowledge about brain and mind. Pilot data from our innovative research grants have led to a number of large awards to labs at UC San Diego and Salk to further investigate autism spectrum disorders, cystinosis, neurogenesis, and learning.
