Video Recordings from our International Mental Health Research Symposium
On October 27, 2017, we hosted our International Mental Health Research Symposium in New York City. The annual event featured the Foundation’s 2017 Outstanding Achievement Prizewinners and two exceptional Young Investigator Grantees presenting on topics ranging from schizophrenia and addiction to childhood interventions and the brain circuitry behind mood disorders. We were also pleased to present Herbert Pardes, M.D., as our Keynote Speaker. Dr. Pardes is Executive Vice Chairman of the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Board and the Founder and President of the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation’s Scientific Council. Nationally recognized for broad expertise in education, research, clinical care and health policy, he offered his thoughts on breakthrough opportunities for mental health.
