Cornerstone partnerships

We forge long-term cornerstone partnerships with leading universities and institutions by providing bespoke programmatic support such as endowed institutes, professorships or topic-specific programs. Each partnership is a platform for discovery that brings together great minds in the brain science ecosystem.


Across all of our programs, we advocate for and support the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in order to accelerate and advance research into the brain and mind by analyzing large amounts of complex data, identifying patterns, and developing more accurate models of the brain.

The Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Institute for Neuroscience at Caltech, founded in 2016, brings together a cross-disciplinary team of scientists and engineers to investigate one of today’s greatest challenges and opportunities: understanding the brain and how it works. In late 2021, the Institute added a Center for Data Sciences and AI, reflecting the importance of incorporating this technology into its research.

Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Institute for Translational Research

The Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Institute for Translational Research was established in April 2018 in partnership with the Shanghai Zhou Liangfu Medical Development Foundation and Fudan University-affiliated Huashan Hospital. Shanghai Mental Health Center then joined the alliance which focuses on brain disease research and strengthening translational research between clinical and fundamental research. In October 2019, the center released a three by four strategy: three verticals (brain-machine interface, digital medicine and sleep) and four dimensions of breakthroughs (scientific research; standards formulation; integration of production, study and research; talent development.)
