Accelerating research by decades
UI Center on Depression & Resilience (UI CDR) was established to breakdown the academic silos that form in research. It provides a multidisciplinary collaborative approach modeled after the National Cancer Institute, which achieved remarkable advances in identifying and treating the cancer by placing focus on the disease, rather than the method of treatment or study. UICDR is predicated on a multifaceted approach that considers epigenetics, neuroscience, blood biomarkers, systemic issues, and other methods together—a team science approach—as the only way of understanding, treating, and beating depression. It is this collaborative and thorough approach to the fight against depression that lead UI CDR to be selected a “Center of Excellence” by the National Network of Depression Centers.
