Our Mission
Wake Forest is committed to advancing neuroscience that addresses the pressing needs of our world. Guided by our motto, Pro Humanitate—“for humanity”—we believe in research that not only generates new knowledge but also fosters health, equity, and well-being across diverse communities. Our partnership with Advocate Health embodies these principles, working to elevate health, inspire hope, and promote healing for all. This focus on neuroscience reflects our core values and institutional commitments to society, particularly as we recognize:
- The foundational role of the brain and mind in shaping every dimension of modern life,
- The profound impact of neurological, neuropsychiatric, and neurodegenerative conditions on global health, and
- The profound influence that our increasingly interconnected society exerts on brain function and health.
Join Our Vision for Neuroscience
As part of this bold initiative, Wake Forest is recruiting faculty to join us in building a national hub for neuroscience research and education. Prospective faculty will join a uniquely collaborative, resource-rich environment dedicated to transformative work that advances health, education, ethics, and the human experience.
