FAU Debuts 'Bench-to-Bedside' MRI, Focused Ultrasound Platform to Accelerate Research, Treatment of Neurological Disorders

Oct. 14, 2025 — Florida Atlantic University has expanded its NeuroInnovate Center, becoming the first institution globally to integrate advanced MRI and focused ultrasound technologies into a single, unified platform for both preclinical and clinical research. This breakthrough will accelerate the development of non-invasive treatments for neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and more.

Spanning Florida Atlantic’s Boca Raton and Jupiter campuses, the enhanced system allows researchers to move seamlessly from lab-based studies to real-time human trials—dramatically shortening the path from discovery to patient care. In collaboration with regional hospitals and world-renowned research partners,

Florida Atlantic is also leveraging this technology to train the next generation of health and science professionals. This milestone further establishes Florida Atlantic, an R1 research institution, as a national leader in neuroscience, innovation and translational medicine.
