PhIND

The mission of the Philadelphia Institute of Neurodegenerative Disorders is to create a collaborative research organization that attracts excellent scientists, accelerates the pace of research on neurodegenerative disorders, and establishes Pennsylvania as an internationally-recognized leader in Neuroscience discovery and development.

To achieve this, PhIND must fulfill the following goals:

• To nurture a far more aggressive, innovative, and integrated effort to find the cause and cure for ALS and other neurodegenerative disorders. The Institute plans to reach this goal by seeking long-term support for research personnel and laboratories and the participation of academic institutions and health-related industries in the Greater Philadelphia region and across the State of Pennsylvania.
• To unite the varied academic institutions in the Greater Philadelphia area and the State of Pennsylvania into an inter-university, cross-disciplinary web of research,
• To use its independent position to bridge the interests of academic research and the biomedical industry in order to step up the rate of discovery and translational research of therapeutics for neurodegenerative disorders, and
• To use the Institute’s unique design to attract significant philanthropic, corporate, and government investment in the neurosciences and brand Pennsylvania as a national center for neuroscience research and development.
