Overview

The Barrow Neuro Analytics Center (BNAC) is a data science-focused research facility led by Dr. Brad Racette and co-directed by Dr. Chia-Ling Phuah, that aims to harness the power of big data to advance understanding of neurological diseases and develop new treatments. This 11,000 square foot state-of-the-art dry laboratory space is located in the Park Central Bioscience Hub adjacent to both Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI) and Creighton University School of Medicine Phoenix Health Sciences campus. Housed in BNAC are the Racette Laboratory and Criswell Laboratory, which together make up the Neuroepidemiology Research Program. The Neuroepidemiology Research Program focuses on 1) epidemiologic studies, that elucidate risk factors for neurodegenerative disease, with an emphasis on the environment and neurodegenerative disease; and 2) environmental and occupational risk factors in neurodegeneration, specifically neurotoxicants related to parkinsonism and cognitive impairment. We employ a variety of methods in our research, including field-based epidemiology, advanced neuroimaging, and administrative data studies across three continents.
Our highly multidisciplinary team aims to solve intractable problems, such as the etiology of neurodegenerative diseases using innovative research methods.
