Dr. Andrew Huberman

Neuroscientist

Andrew Huberman, Ph.D. is a neuroscientist and tenured professor in the Department of Neurobiology at Stanford School of Medicine. His laboratory studies neural regeneration, neuroplasticity, and brain states such as stress, focus, fear, and optimal performance. Dr. Huberman received his Ph.D. in neuroscience from UC Davis and completed his postdoctoral training at Stanford, where he has been a faculty member since 2011. He is the creator and host of the Huberman Lab podcast, which has become one of the most popular science podcasts globally, translating complex neuroscience into actionable protocols for everyday life. His work spans from basic research on how the brain changes in response to experience to practical tools for enhancing sleep, managing stress, and optimizing physical and cognitive performance. Dr. Huberman has received numerous awards including the McKnight Foundation Neuroscience Scholar Award and the Pew Charitable Trust Biomedical Scholar Award. He is particularly known for his science-based protocols on light exposure, breathing techniques, and behavioral tools that leverage neuroplasticity. His ability to make neuroscience accessible while maintaining scientific rigor has revolutionized how millions approach their daily health routines.
