Many Universities are researching neuroplasticity and mindfulness, but most pale in comparison to the Mindful Awareness Research Center (MARC) at UCLA.

They are currently Researching:

• Breast Cancer and Mindfulness
• Mindfulness Research at UCLA Psychoneuroimmunology Center
• Mindfulness Awareness Practices (MAPs) in education
• MAPs for ADHD

In addition to their research, they offer weekly free guided meditation podcast via the hammer, Daylong retreats, Classes (Both online and in-person), and free drop-in meditation sessions.

It isn’t as big as the MARC, but UCSD also has a center for mindfulness based research that is more based around classes and less on the research. A list of programs can be found here

While Berkley may not have a center based on mindfulness, it frequently publishes articles on mindfulness on its website “The Greater Good”
