KJCF Quest Fellowships in Brain Health and Multimorbidity (3 posts)

The University of Edinburgh is partnering with The Karlsson Játiva Charitable Foundation to launch the KJCF Quest Fellowships in Brain Health and Multimorbidity, focused on improving the lives of people with multiple long-term conditions, where one or more affect brain health.

Studying the brain only gives us part of the picture when it comes to understanding brain health. The new fellowships programme will champion a new approach, encouraging collaboration across disciplines and catalysing new ways of thinking.

The programme brings together expertise from the Institute for Neuroscience and Cardiovascular Research and the wider Edinburgh Neuroscience community, supporting fellows to develop work that will deliver benefits for individuals and society.
