Leading the Way
Through innovative programs and the unique set of resources within the Campbell Family Mental Health Research Institute—including our world-class brain-imaging centre, genetic and molecular labs, big-data computing expertise and more—CAMH is leading in many significant fields of brain science research.
Every day, we strive to break new ground on the questions that will contribute to a greater understanding of the healthy brain, the changes associated with brain illness, and the processes taking place that cause these illnesses to progress.
Some of these questions and initiatives include:
-
advancing a modernized approach to mental illness that links to perspectives from the brain, the rest of the body, the social context and environment, across the lifespan
-
changing the view of the brain as a set of information-processing circuits
-
working towards correcting the scarcity of novel treatments.
