University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) Dean Mark T. Gladwin, MD, has announced plans to launch the University of Maryland-Medicine Institute for Neuroscience Discovery (UM-MIND), which will accelerate translational research of the brain by facilitating interaction between basic and clinical scientists and enhancing collaborative research across UMSOM and the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) campus. “There is an urgent need to better understand how the brain develops and ages and responds to inflammation and traumatic injury,” said Gladwin, who also is vice president for medical affairs, UMB, and the John Z. and Akiko K. Bowers Distinguished Professor, UMSOM. “Our institution has tremendous strengths around neuroscience, with faculty scientists across our academic departments, center, institutes, and programs. Now is the ideal time to form a partnership across these entities in the study of brain science, with the goal of accelerating the discovery and translation of novel therapies.”
