Inspiring long-term impact through local leadership.
Mission:BRAIN is redefining what it means to “go on a mission.” Our goal is not to perform more surgeries ourselves, but to empower others to do so.
Through NeuroClinics and community-based collaboration, we’re helping local neurosurgeons take ownership of their own missions — with access to resources, mentorship, and infrastructure that allows them to grow independently.
Equipping the next generation to lead, discover, and transform care.
From classrooms to operating rooms, Mission:Brain is creating pathways for students, residents, and early-career professionals to step into the future of neuroscience and neurosurgery.
Programs like NeuroCamp, our Scholarship Initiatives (WINS, LHHINNS, Beckmann, and Uihlein), and the Research Peer Mentorship Program are opening doors for young minds who might never have imagined themselves in this field.
Using data to guide decisions, measure outcomes, and shape the future.
Through our Global Neurosurgery Research Program, we’re collecting and analyzing data where it’s needed most — in underserved regions that have historically been left out of global studies. By leading research, supporting peer-reviewed publications, and empowering local teams to conduct their own investigations, we’re building evidence that drives smarter, more equitable care.
Our data doesn’t just fill research gaps — it tells the story of progress, collaboration, and measurable change. By 2030, our goal is to publish 30 high-impact studies that influence global policy, inform treatment standards, and improve lives.
Turning ideas into action through creativity and connection.
The Mission:BRAIN Hackathon has become a global platform for innovation — bringing together more than 240 participants from 42 countries to tackle real-world neurosurgical challenges.
Through mentorship, design, and creative problem-solving, participants develop solutions that address healthcare disparities and reshape the field of neurosurgery.
Looking ahead, we’re scaling this model into a global innovation engine — building intellectual property, forming partnerships, and inspiring sustainable ideas that can be implemented across borders.
Our upcoming Metaverse University will further expand this network, providing immersive education and virtual collaboration tools to train the next generation of global health leaders.
Building a world where geography never determines access to care.
At the heart of Mission:BRAIN is a simple belief: every life deserves access to quality neurosurgical care, no matter where they are born.
Through partnerships with local hospitals, training programs, and government collaborations, we’re working to ensure that sustainable neurosurgical systems exist in even the most remote regions.
By 2035, our vision is for every major global region to have centers of excellence and trained neurosurgeons leading the way for their communities.We’re not just expanding access to surgery — we’re building hope, dignity, and opportunity, one bridge at a time.
