Message from the Director
Eric J. Nestler, MD, PhD
Director, The Friedman Brain Institute
The nervous system is the last frontier of the molecular revolution in medicine. Thanks to remarkable advances in studying the brain and nerous system—many developed and in practice at Mount Sinai—we have made impressive strides in understanding how the nervous system functions under normal conditions and malfunctions in disease. Now, we are uniquely poised to take these advances and translate them into fundamentally new and improved treatments of brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system disorders.
Our goal is to coordinate all neuroscience research at Mount Sinai—both basic and clinical carried out in numerous departments—and build translational bridges to clinical treatment programs throughout the Mount Sinai Health System. Our basic and clinical faculty members are national and international leaders, committed to understanding the nervous system and to significant clinical advances in diagnosis and treatment.
