All the Vice Chancellor’s Neuroscientists: Unity to Achieve Success in Solving Malaysia’s Diseases via Upgrading Clinical Services and Neuroscience Research
Abdullah, Jafri Malin
Abstract
President Obama of the United States of America announced this April the Brain Research
Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN for short) investment, while Professor
Henry Markram’s team based in the European Union will spend over a billion euros on the Human
Brain Project, breaking through the unknowns in the fifth science of the decade: Neuroscience.
Malaysia's growth in the same field needs to be augmented, and thus the Universiti Sains Malaysia’s
vision is to excel in the field of clinical brain sciences, mind sciences, and neurosciences. This will
naturally bring up the level of research in the country simultaneously. Thus, a center was recently
established to coordinate this venture. The four-year Integrated Neuroscience Program established
recently will be a sustainable source of neuroscientists for the country. We hope to establish ourselves
by 2020 as a global university with neurosciences research as an important flagship.
