The National Center for Adaptive Neurotechnologies (NCAN) is a biotechnology research center based in Albany, New York, established as an extension of a long-running collaboration at the Wadsworth Center. Its principal aim is to accelerate the development, clinical translation, and broad dissemination of adaptive neurotechnologies intended to address severe neuromuscular disorders and other neurological conditions. NCAN supports the creation and validation of new neurotechnologies and strives to enable scientists, engineers, and clinicians worldwide to engage in their development and application. It is positioned as the only NIH-funded neurotechnology center in the United States that works directly with patients, with a focus on translating innovations into therapies for spinal cord injuries, stroke, and related disorders. The organization operates within the biotechnology research sector and serves a patient-centered, translational research community, reflecting its location in Albany and its relatively small organizational footprint.
