Caltech Opens Neuroscience Research Hub Made Possible by Shanda’s Founders

Neuroscience has a new home. On Friday, January 29, Caltech hosted a virtual dedication for The Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Neuroscience Research Building (CNRB), the newest addition to campus. Although the pandemic prevented the community from gathering in person to celebrate the opening of the new building, more than 850 Caltech leaders, researchers, students, alumni, and friends assembled online to celebrate its opening and the future of brain research now that Caltech’s efforts are centralized in one campus location. The three-story, 150,000-square foot facility houses the Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Research Institute, which was created in 2016.

 

Shanda’s founders also support major philanthropic efforts in China and recently opened the Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Frontier Lab for Brain Research at Huashan Hospitals new Hongqiao Campus.
