Brain State represents Florida’s opportunity to be a global leader in a connected healthcare economy. We’re creating a network of state universities, hospitals, and institutions to work in a public-private partnership that will advance novel therapies, diagnostics, and understanding of neurologic diseases. Together, we will discover the next generation of treatment solutions for Alzheimer’s Disease.
