Executive Director of the Brain Capital Alliance and Professor at Rice University and The University of Texas Medical Branch

Professor Harris A. Eyre, MD, PhD, is Senior Fellow for Brain Health and Society at Rice University’s Office of Innovation and a global leader in neuroinnovation and brain economy policy. He pioneered the brain economy framework—an economic transition that prioritizes brain capital: the integration of brain health and brain skills to drive societal resilience and inclusive growth. His work spans the OECD, Brookings Institution, and World Economic Forum, catalyzing multi-sectoral action. Dr. Eyre’s work explores the convergence of brain and nature economies, highlighting how cognitive resilience, ecological stewardship, and regenerative systems co-create sustainable futures. His work illuminates how investing in brain capital can unlock nature-positive innovation, enabling circularity not just in materials—but in minds, communities, and planetary well-being.
