Dr. Ali Rezai, executive chair of the West Virginia University Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute, is part of a team of faculty members, doctors and scientists focused on groundbreaking treatments.
“We’re running as fast as we can to help change the world,” Dr. Rezai said about research that is giving hope to communities that may not have had it before when it comes to treatments for substance use disorder, Alzheimer’s disease and more.
These aren’t ideas stuck on pages — they’re real treatments happening now at WVU.
Developments at the WVU RNI have been featured on CBS News’ “60 Minutes.”
Gov. Jim Justice also recently visited the WVU RNI to ceremonially sign legislation allocating $2 million in supplemental state funding to initiate first-in-the-world clinical research studies using focused ultrasound neuromodulation to treat food addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder and other conditions.
