We use the resources of Penn State University as an R1 land grant university, and strengths in neurosciences, methodology, and social and biological sciences, to discover new ways to improve the lives of people with mental and behavioral illness.
We host specialty clinical and research programs, including research that crosses the translational spectrum.
