The state-of-the-art facility will initially house approximately 100 teams comprising 875 researchers, including experts in neurology, neuroscience, neurosurgery, psychiatry, and anesthesiology. 

One of the nation’s largest neuroscience research buildings is slated to open this month in the heart of St. Louis. The $616 million Washington University Neuroscience Research Building spans 11 stories and 609,000 square feet at the eastern edge of the medical campus, near the Cortex Innovation Community.

Richards, Ph.D., a professor of neurobiology who chairs WashU’s Department of Neuroscience. Read the entire article on the St. Louis Magazine website by clicking here.
