Lieber Institute for brain development

"If scientists could gather with a unified strategy in a common space, bringing multiple areas of interest and expertise, they will make a breakthrough."  

                      - Steve Lieber
 

“The basic principle of a privately funded institution like the Lieber Institute is that it’s an investment for science, not the other way around."  

                 - Daniel R.
                   Weinberger, M.D.

The Lieber Institute emphasizes flexibility, collaboration, physical contiguity of interdisciplinary scientists, decision making based on scientific priority and opportunity, all in the context of a mission.

Asking "big" questions
and creating innovative
collaborative approaches
to answer them are the
goals of the Lieber Institute
leadership team.

We are located in the new Johns Hopkins Bioscience Park in Baltimore, Maryland.
