Billionaire Bill Ackman is establishing a large brain research institute in Manhattan, inspired by a personal family health crisis. The Ackman Oxman Institute, named after Ackman and his wife Neri Oxman, will occupy a nearly 700,000-square-foot facility on the Upper West Side. The project, funded by the Pershing Square Foundation, aims to bring together experts to study the brain comprehensively, focusing on areas from rehabilitation to longevity and building on insights from experimental treatments his daughter received.
