Our Mission

At the Center for Translational Neuroscience and Health, our mission is to use the tools and discoveries of neuroscience, psychology, and related disciplines to improve mental and physical health across the lifespan. Our work translates research findings into programs that improve well-being and prevent distress and disease; communicates and shares knowledge with the public; and engages the community in science and dissemination efforts. We also conduct basic research in neuroscience, clinical and developmental science, and health psychology to support our inclusive science translation mission.

Our Expertise

Our work spans the spectrum from basic science to policy work and program development. Click on a content area to learn more, or visit our projects page to see our full portfolio.
