The Brain Cognition and Brain Disease Institute, BCBDI, was officially established on November 9, 2016. We are leading the construction of Shenzhen-Hong Kong Institute of Brain Science, a Basic Research Institute in Shenzhen, and one of the Large Research Infrastructure of Shenzhen- Shenzhen Brain Science Infrastructure. 

BCBDI focuses on the research of brain cognitive neural basis, establishment of animal model resource for non-human primate brain disease and brain disease mechanism, and new treatment strategy. This mission is underpinned by six research centers (Centre for Brain Connectome and Behavior, Centre for Cognitive Science and Intelligence Technology, Centre for Neurodevelopmental and Neurodegenerative Diseases and Centre for Gene Editing Brain Disease Model, Center for Translational Research of Brain Disease, Interdisciplinary Center for Brain Information), and the first neuroscience lab named by Nobel laureate in Shenzhen (Shenzhen Neher Neural Plasticity Laboratory), has a total of 186 full-time employees and 93 students, including 19 Principal Investigators, 22 Associate Investigators, 2 Principal Senior Engineers, and 1 Senior Engineer.

Since its establishment, BCBDI has hosted more than 190 projects at various local levels, totaling 250 million RMB. By the name of BCBDI, we have published a total of 112 SCI papers, including top international journals such as Nature, Science, Nature Neuroscience, Neuron, Nature Communications, Neuron, and PNAS, with more than 260 patents filed and nearly 80 licenses granted.

As a highly international research institute, BCBDI collaborates with many global innovative resources: MIT McGovern Institute for Brain Research, Broad Institute, University of British Columbia, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Max Planck, German National Center for Molecular Medicine, French Academy of Agricultural Sciences. We are planning for "the Belt and Road Initiative" national cooperation, International Cooperation Program in brain science.
