About The Institute
The Wu Tsai Institute was founded in 2021 by a historic gift from Joe Tsai and Clara Wu Tsai to reveal fundamental truths about the mind through the integrated study of the brain. Based at 100 College Street in New Haven, with links to research Yale campuses, WTI rests on three pillars that coordinate its research activities: the Center for Neurodevelopment and Plasticity, the Center for Neurocognition and Behavior, and the Center for Neurocomputation and Machine Intelligence.
WTI enables interdisciplinary inquiry through fellowships for co-mentored postdocs, grad students, and undergrads; shared research facilities and services with cutting-edge technologies; collaborative grants to nucleate disruptive ideas; and regular conferences, workshops, seminars, and opportunities for professional development. WTI integrates approaches across disciplines through common mathematical, statistical, and computational frameworks. WTI fosters a welcoming environment that provides equal opportunity to people of a broad range of backgrounds and perspectives. Learn more about WTI and available opportunities.
