Andrew Huberman

Andrew Huberman, Ph.D., is a neuroscientist and tenured professor in the Departments of Neurobiology and Ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine. His research laboratory, the Huberman Lab, has contributed to understanding brain development, the neuroscience of visual perception and repair from blinding diseases such as glaucoma, the neural mechanisms of stress and resilience, and neural plasticity, the nervous system's ability to change and learn in response to experience.

He earned his bachelor's degree with honors and distinction from the University of California, Santa Barbara (1998), completed a master's degree at UC Berkeley (2000), and received his Ph.D. in neuroscience from UC Davis in 2004, where he was awarded the Allan G. Marr Prize for the Best Ph.D. Dissertation. He did postdoctoral research at Stanford School of Medicine from 2005 to 2010 as a Helen Hay Whitney Postdoctoral Fellow. His first faculty position was at the University of California, San Diego, from 2011 to 2015, and in 2016 he joined Stanford as a tenured professor. He has published over 75 peer-reviewed articles in journals including Nature, Science, Cell and Neuron.

Alongside his research, Huberman hosts the Huberman Lab podcast, which offers science-based tools for everyday life. Episodes explore how the brain and its connections with the body shape perception, behavior and health, with topics ranging from sleep, light exposure and focus to nutrition, stress and learning. He also writes the Neural Network newsletter and shares his daily routine and protocols in his Daily Blueprint. He is the author of the book Protocols.
