Vickie & Jack Farber Institute for Neuroscience

Who We Are:

At the Vickie & Jack Farber Institute for Neuroscience, we are accelerating efforts to bring together the expertise of physicians, clinicians, and researchers specializing in brain and spine disorders to collaborate as never before.

The Vickie & Jack Farber Institute for Neuroscience is an ecosystem of innovation spanning the Departments of Neurological Surgery, Neurology, Neuroscience, and Psychiatry and Human Behavior. The most advanced treatment technologies, world-class specialists, and leading-edge research come together here. Through innovative basic, clinical, and translational research, Jefferson is revolutionizing the way we study and treat neurological diseases and disorders.  

Our physicians and scientists imagine a better world for patients and families suffering from the life-altering effects of neurological disease. We want to make what they imagine a reality, and we need your help.

Your generosity can make an impact. The next breakthrough, the next treatment—you make it possible. Innovations pioneered at the Vickie & Jack Farber Institute for Neuroscience will improve the lives of countless patients, creating a ripple effect of healing across the Jefferson Health enterprise and far beyond.

Your support will make an even greater difference by helping to unlock a challenge gift from the Farber Family Foundation to the David Farber ASPIRE Center.

Make an impact by contributing to one of our top priorities at the Vickie & Jack Farber Institute for Neuroscience today.
