The ChEM-H / Neuro research complex serves as the home base for two interdisciplinary institutes, Stanford ChEM-H (Chemistry, Engineering, and Medicine for Human Health) and the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute. The 235,000 square foot facility will be home to more than 40 laboratories, interactive research spaces, meeting spaces, and a pub.

This new, shared facility is located at the strategic physical nexus of science, engineering, and medicine.
