Building Africa’s neuroscience community.
Our Mission
PalmX Institute is an African-led platform focused on building and connecting the neuroscience community across the continent and the diaspora. We aim to create a credible space for knowledge exchange, grounded in African contexts and connected to global research.
Our core activity is a monthly research seminar series where neuroscientists present their work, share ideas, and engage in open discussion. Through these sessions and shared resources, PalmX supports learning, visibility, and collaboration within Africa’s growing neuroscience ecosystem.

eXchange
Knowledge exchange is central to our mission. We create spaces where neuroscientists can openly share research, ideas, and resources, fostering connection across institutions, countries, and the diaspora.
eXploration
We support curiosity-driven exploration in neuroscience, while remaining open to closely related fields as the community grows. PalmX encourages inquiry that is grounded in real problems and future-facing research.
