Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience

A blood-test analysis developed at Stanford Medicine can determine the “biological ages” of 11 separate organ systems in individuals’ bodies and predict the health consequences.

A new study supported by the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience reveals how Alzheimer's disease and attention shape our ability to remember.

Year-end Symposium and Research Showcase

The Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience invites our community to a symposium showcasing our award recipients’ trailblazing research on aging, neurodegeneration, and brain resilience. It will include a Stanford neuroscience poster session and contest, as well as a reception. This is an in-person-only event. 

We invite the community to a symposium highlighting recent advances in brain resilience and aging research. The program will feature scientific talks as well as a clinical presentation. A neuroscience poster session will follow the talks, showcasing the latest research from members of the Stanford community.

The first Monday of each month, the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience will host monthly seminars to bring together awardees, affiliated professors and students for a series of 'lab meeting' styled talks. Two speakers will discuss their brain resilience research, experiences in the field, and answer questions about their work.

To support our researchers' participation in this open science ‘lab-meeting style’ exchange of ideas, these seminars are not streamed/recorded and are only open to members of the Stanford community.
