The Human Brain Project: The Foresight Lab
The Human Brain Project is one of the greatest challenges facing 21st-century science. If we can rise to the challenge, we can gain profound insights into what makes us human, develop new treatments for brain disease and build revolutionary new computing technologies. The Human Brain Project is a ten-year project aimed at building a completely new Information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure for neuroscience and understanding the human brain and its diseases to emulate its computational capabilities.

Urban Brain Lab
The Urban Brain Lab, established by the Urban Brain Research Programme, is an experiment in resetting the relations between the sociological and neurobiological sciences. Initially funded by an Economics and Social Research Council (ESRC) ‘Transforming Social Science’ grant, the Lab investigates ‘urbanicity’ – the connections between the social and the neurological lives of urban citizens, with particular attention to mental health.

Research for Health in Conflict: developing capability, partnerships and research in the Middle and Near East (R4HC-MENA)
Dr Hanna Kienzler co-leads the 'Mental Health and Conflict' work stream of this Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) funded project. It strives to build research and policy capacity in conflict affected areas, focusing on health, political economy of health and complex non-communicable diseases, such as mental health and cancer. It also aims to facilitate more effective translation of research into policy.
