Leadership | The 10,000 Brains Project

Mission

The 10,000 Brains Project is a nonprofit initiative dedicated to advancing targeted therapies for the millions of people affected by neurodegenerative diseases worldwide. By working across neurodegenerative diseases and harnessing the full potential of innovative tools and technologies, we aim to accelerate breakthroughs in earlier detection and more personalized care.

Vision

We envision a future where innovative technologies—such as artificial intelligence (AI) and big data analytics— unlock new insights across neurodegenerative disorders, enabling earlier detection and more personalized treatment for all patients.
