Open Science is the concept of sharing data, information, tools, and research results, and eliminating barriers to collaboration. And we believe it offers the most promising path towards patient-centred science – helping us accelerate the scientific process towards solving the most persistent problems in neuroscience, speed up discovery, and benefit millions of people affected by neurological disorders worldwide. 


The Neuro’s Tanenbaum Open Science Institute (TOSI) establishes us as a leader and living lab for Open Science, with the goals of:

  1. Establishing best practices and developing tools and infrastructure to support sharing
  2. Expanding and measuring our impact

  3. Encouraging the global scientific community to embrace this new way of doing science.

OPEN PLATFORMS

We aim to transform many brain disorders into treatable or curable conditions. Our open platforms and collaborations are helping reduce this burden and improve people's quality of life around the world. 

Clinical Biological Imaging and Genetic Repository

A one-of-a-kind open repository, primed to become the world's largest library of:

  • brain imaging
  • clinical, demographic, genetic, and cellular data
  • samples from patients with neurological disorders.

Early Drug Discovery Unit

Working in open collaboration with academia and industry partners, the unit aims to accelerate drug discovery in neuroscience and improve access to novel and next-generation treatments for people living with neurological diseases.

The unit uses patient samples to develop human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that can then be differentiated into any type of cell found within the human brain.
