Institute for Memory Impairments and Neurological Disorders, University of California-Irvine
Location: Irvine, CA, United States
Expires: November 01, 2009

The Institute for Memory Impairments and Neurological Disorders formerly known as Institute for Brain Aging and Dementia (iMIND) at the University of California, Irvine is internationally recognized for its research accomplishments in disorders of the brain, particularly those that are age-related. The Institute is UCI’s center for aging and dementia research, with our faculty seeking to understand the causes leading to neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, Lewy body dementia, and Huntington’s disease.

We aim to identify the life-style factors that promote wellness and “successful aging.” For those suffering from age-related memory problems, our goal is to diagnose disease, identify means for effectively treating it, and provide help to families and caregivers.

Neuroscience with a focus on cellular and molecular biology and expertise in neuroscience research, central nervous system regeneration, testing the mechanisms of integration of neural stem cells in rodent models of spinal cord injury and mechanisms controlling neuronal stem cell fate decisions in vitro and in vivo. Essential skills include experience with neural stem cells, and training in spinal cord injury techniques, including surgical and behavioral analyses

The University of California, Irvine is an equal opportunity employer committed to excellence through diversity.
