The F. M. Kirby Foundation is proud to celebrate nearly 30 years of partnership with Kennedy Krieger Institute. This world-renowned organization, based in the heart of Baltimore, is dedicated to improving the lives of children and adolescents with neurological, developmental, and behavioral disorders. With a mission to provide comprehensive care, conduct innovative research and deliver educational services, the Institute is at the forefront of transforming the lives of children facing particularly complex challenges.
The F. M. Kirby Research Center for Functional Brain Imaging at Kennedy Krieger Institute was established in 1999 and brings together imaging scientists, neuroscientists and clinicians to advance the study of brain function. Using state-of-the-art imaging techniques in a safe and supportive environment, the center develops innovative methodologies that enhance understanding of neurological conditions. In addition to pioneering research, the center serves as a hub for training and education, equipping the next generation of scientists and clinicians with the tools to push the boundaries of brain imaging and its applications in patient care.
Kennedy Krieger’s reputation for excellence extends to its specialized centers, including the Center for Autism Services, Science and Innovation (CASSI™) and the Center for Brain Injury Recovery, where experts work closely with families to provide individualized care plans. Through these services and its ongoing research, the Institute continues to make a profound impact on the lives of children and their families.
