Impact
On the path toward treatments, cures and prevention.
The silence surrounding mental health conditions and aging-brain disorders is slowly breaking, yet the need for understanding and effective solutions has never been greater. Millions of lives are touched by these conditions, a reality that underscores the urgency of our mission at the Lieber Institute for Brain Development.
We are taking bold steps, driven by scientific inquiry and fueled by the precious gift of brain donation, to forge a new era in mental and brain healthcare. We are not just studying the brain; we are actively building pathways to better treatments, potential cures, and even prevention.
Explore with us the impact of this critical work and discover how, together, we are shaping a future where mental illness and aging-brain disorders no longer define lives.
More than 10 years of impact...
