Andrew Huberman

After earning his neuroscience PhD, Huberman conducted postdoctoral research at Stanford from 2005 to 2010.⁠[1]

He was an assistant professor at UC San Diego from 2011 to 2015 and became a Stanford associate professor in 2016.⁠[2]

He joined the 2013 class of Pew Biomedical Scholars. Pew described his research on visual-circuit development and how retinal neurons connect to appropriate targets in the brain.⁠[3]

Huberman was senior author of a mouse optic-nerve injury study led by Jung-Hwan Albert Lim. Combining visual stimulation with growth-signaling intervention promoted axon regrowth and restored some visual behaviors, but not fine discrimination.⁠[4]

In 2017, the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) awarded him its Cogan Award.⁠[2]

Huberman launched Huberman Lab in 2021, using solo episodes and guest interviews to discuss neuroscience and science in everyday life.⁠[5]

His coauthored randomized trial of 108 people over 28 days found greater positive-affect improvement with cyclic sighing than mindfulness, but no significant sleep change. Long-term effects were not established.⁠[6]

Huberman said he contextualizes research and that supplements cannot replace sleep, diet, and exercise.⁠[7]

Jonathan Jarry of McGill’s Office for Science and Society praised his neuroscience explanations while criticizing his supplement promotion and evidentiary standards, and discussing interests associated with sponsorship.⁠[8]

His coauthored open-label trial of 22 patients appeared online in 2025 and in the 2026 volume. Overall visual function did not significantly improve; controlled research remained necessary. Only eight participants were sufficiently adherent for efficacy analysis.⁠[9]
