Welcome to the Jungers Center for Neurosciences Research, a collaborative effort of the Department of Neurology and the Vollum Institute at OHSU.
The Center is housed on the 4th floor of the Lamfrom Biomedical Research Building, which is dedicated to accelerating the pace at which promising discoveries move from the laboratory to the patient’s bedside. The Jungers Center is also home to the Imaging Facility, which provides the high resolution light microscopy needs of the Jungers Center faculty and the OHSU neuroscience community.
A generous gift from Frank and Julie Jungers and Gary and Mariellen Jungers made the Jungers Center possible. Established in 2006, the Center has broad goals to enhance understanding of neurological diseases with a focus on neurodegeneration and neuroregeneration through research in Center laboratories and training programs in disease-oriented neuroscience research.
