The mission of the Department of Translational Neurosciences is to establish a world-class translational and clinical research enterprise with educational and community science components. The Department of Translational Neurosciences is developing novel therapies for stroke, dementia, and traumatic brain injury and translating these therapies from ‘bench to bedside’ to improve patient outcomes. The Department of Translational Neurosciences plans to serve as the integrating point and driving force behind the development of cutting-edge multidisciplinary science, state of the art clinical services, innovative community outreach improving health and care, and engagement with hospital partners. We are working to enhance research and clinical fellowship programs to attract and retain promising trainees and maintain excellence in medical student and resident education. The Department of Translational Neurosciences is also partnering with other institutes and departments at Tulane University to develop visionary multidisciplinary neuroscience programs across departmental boundaries and to achieve international recognition as a top tier neuroscience research center.
