Be a part of the exciting research and innovation ecosystem at CBR!

The Centre for Brain Research (CBR) is an autonomous research centre hosted by the Indian Institute of Science campus, Bengaluru, and set up with a generous gift from the Pratiksha Trust founded by Mr. Kris Gopalakrishnan (one of the co-founders of Infosys Limited) and Mrs. Sudha Gopalakrishnan. CBR represents a unique initiative in the current research environment in India that will help in conducting cutting-edge research on the aging brain and age-associated brain disorders. The mandate of CBR is to carry out transformational research to understand the functioning of the aging brain in health and disease. CBR has initiated comprehensive, long-term longitudinal studies of cognition, genetics, and brain imaging in the elderly population

. The uniqueness of the Indian population provides an ideal basis for carrying out such studies to identify potential protective factors and risk factors.
