Duncan NRI Faculty and Staff Publications
The Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Institute is home to 37 Principal Investigators, more than 400+ scientists and 10 Core labs.
Dan and Duncan Neurological Institute also house the Gordon and Mary Cain Pediatric Neurology Research Foundation Laboratories which are focused on epilepsy research and Baylor College's of Medicine's Center for Drug Discovery which is aimed at quick identification and advancement of small molecules to clinical trials.
Since inception, more than 1700 scientific studies have been published, and more than 85 disease-causing genetic mutations have been discovered or co-discovered by our scientists. There are currently 6 active clinical trials and studies.
