At Georgetown, we pursue research that transcends traditional boundaries.
We create knowledge that matters nationally and globally while addressing critical challenges facing society today.
Projects with real-world impact
We champion projects centered on multidisciplinary collaboration and open innovation. Our team works to create an ecosystem that actively recruits, engages, and rewards researchers who bridge conventional divides between natural sciences, social sciences, computational fields, and humanities.
Our collaborative network extends beyond campus, encompassing researchers from partner universities, public health organizations, national laboratories, industry pioneers, and research institutions worldwide—all united in pursuing breakthrough discoveries and meaningful impact.
Centers driving innovation
Center for Neuroengineering
The CNE is a global alliance for advancing mind and brain health. Composed of MedStar Health, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the Technical University of Munich, and Georgetown’s top neuroscientists and engineers, the Center is working to restore impaired cognitive and sensorimotor abilities as a result of neurological disorders or aging.
