McMaster Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences: Research and Scholarship Day 2025
Advancing Partnerships in Brain Health:
From Intervention to Prevention
Please join us for a full-day event proudly hosted by the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences at McMaster University. This Research and Scholarship Day will focus on exploring the latest advancements in brain health at McMaster University and our partner hospitals and research institutes. With the assistance of our Faculty leaders, researchers across all areas of the Faculty of Health Sciences have been invited to share their current research with the overall aim of forming new partnerships surrounding brain health across the human lifespan. The event will feature keynote speakers, panel discussions, research poster presentations, and award presentations.
The central theme of the event, "From Intervention to Prevention," underscores our commitment to not only addressing existing brain health problems but also proactively preventing them. Here we will explore a range of topics, from early intervention strategies and therapeutic approaches, through to preventive measures and public health initiatives. Our goal is to promote a holistic approach to brain health that spans from immediate interventions to long-term preventive care.
By fostering interdisciplinary partnerships, we hope to advance our understanding of brain health and develop innovative strategies to improve health and overall well-being across the human lifespan.
The full schedule, speaker bios, and other updates are forthcoming.
