The Brain Game Center for Mental Fitness and Well-Being designs interactive experiences for diverse populations to transform how we think about mental fitness and well-being. Our team conducts groundbreaking research, rigorous testing, and widespread distribution of scientifically refined software to help numerous people address their cognitive needs and reach their cognitive goals.

As a consortium of research institutions, healthcare systems and private companies, Epistorm develops innovative methodologies to integrate high-resolution mobility, airline travel, genomic and wastewater surveillance data—with mechanistic, statistical, and deep learning forecasting models to increase the accuracy of predictive analytics to help the US make more informed decisions during future outbreaks of infectious diseases.

The Center investigates the effects of lifestyle choices and health behaviors (e.g., physical activity, diet) and their physiological sequelae (e.g., fitness, adiposity) on brain and cognition. From a neuroimaging perspective, the researchers’ interests lie in understanding how health influences brain and behavior as it relates to increased health and effective functioning for individuals across the lifespan.

The Center’s objective is simple: think networks. Research focuses on how networks emerge/evolve, how they look, and how they impact our understanding of complex systems. CCNR’s research has developed to unexpected areas, including the topology of the World Wide Web; complex networks inside the cell, and the Internet’s Achilles’ Heel.

The Center for Complex Particle Systems makes, measures, and models complex materials from molecular, nano, and microscale components combining order and disorder to establish simple chemical pathways to resource-conscious, multifunctional and intelligent materials for a sustainable and healthy future. By bridging the theory of graphs, physics of networks, science of particles, and examples of evolution, we create the foundations of their engineering and develop its diverse global practitioners.

The Center for Drug Discovery is dedicated to the discovery of novel medications and the development of approaches and technologies aimed at improving the discovery of new therapeutic drugs.

CIRCS fosters collaborations between researchers from different scientific and engineering disciplines who share a common interest in elucidating fundamental aspects of the structure and function of complex physical and biological systems across multiple levels of organization using a combination of quantitative state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical research tools.

The Center for Theoretical Biological Physics (CTBP) uses methods from physics, mathematics, and chemistry to understand biological problems. Research within CTBP focuses on broadly defined areas, including the fundamentals of physical genetics, interacting active elements and biological functionality, integrated living systems, and the development of core methodology.

The Center for Translational NeuroImaging endeavors to provide services to the academic community interested in  animal modeling and drug testing to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of CNS diseases. The Center is also committed to training the next generation of imaging scientists to meet the needs of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.

An internationally recognized research institution that focuses on the ocean environment, marine life and ecology, and discovering biotechnological and medical potentials in the sea. Projects include building underwater robots and creating genetically engineered seaweed to clean wastewater from agriculture facilities.

This center aims to be at the frontier of science and technology of clean energy conversion and storage. The range of efforts includes materials science, advanced in situ spectroscopy, micro-fabrication methods and manufacturing technology.

The Ocean Genome Legacy Center at Northeastern University’s Marine Science Center is a non-profit research organization and biological specimen repository dedicated to exploring and preserving the wealth of information contained in the genomes of endangered, rare, unusual, and ecologically critical marine organisms. Its mission is to acquire, authenticate, study, preserve, develop, and distribute genetic materials, biological specimens, and information to the research community.

The Plastics Center will promote responsible and sustainable plastic use through innovative research and collaboration to address global needs. It will drive solutions through research, policy, and education, connecting science, engineering, arts, and policy. The center aims to develop safer practices, reduce pollution, and empower communities, collaborating with academia, business, and government to create sustainable solutions and advance health.
