Meet Dr. Andrew Huberman


Andrew Huberman, Ph.D.


Neuroscientist/Podcaster


Dr. Andrew Huberman, Ph.D., is a tenured professor of Neurobiology and, by courtesy, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine. Internationally recognized for his work on brain development, neural plasticity, and behavior, Dr. Huberman has devoted his career to uncovering how the nervous system rewires itself to support learning, resilience, and performance.


In 2021, he launched the Huberman Lab Podcast, a platform now ranked among the top 10 podcasts globally, where he delivers practical neuroscience tools based on peer-reviewed research. He is also the author of The Huberman Lab Protocols, a comprehensive guide to optimizing mental and physical health. Dr. Huberman has helped millions implement science-backed protocols to improve sleep, focus, energy, and emotional well-being through his research, podcast, and writing.

PROFESSIONAL JOURNEY


Dr. Huberman’s professional journey began with a deep curiosity about how the brain sees and adapts. His early research focused on the development and plasticity of the visual system, including pioneering studies on retinal ganglion cells and brain regeneration after injury. As a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford under Dr. Ben Barres, he expanded his focus to broader mechanisms of neural rewiring. He now leads the Huberman Laboratory at Stanford, where his team investigates how vision, respiration, and internal states drive behavior, performance, and health. Outside the lab, he has become a global leader in science communication, transforming complex neuroscience into practical tools for everyday life.
