Mental Health Mapping
We use large, diverse datasets and machine learning to understand mental and neurological disorders in each person: how biology, society, and environment shape them. Together with patients and clinicians, we bring these insights into clinical care.
Foundations
What is healthy, and what is a disorder?
Structures
From biology to families and society.
Markers
The hidden factors behind disorders.
Models
Machine learning, from lab to clinic.
