Great to see Dr Aristotle Voineskos on CTV News this morning re @camhnews @camhresearch mental health research, 1000 research staff, new discoveries, team science, and campaign by CAMH Foundation to build a new home for our lifesaving research!

Very pleased to have our #pharmacogenetics and #precisionmedicine research in #mentalhealth described in IMS Magazine. There are many unmet needs to be addressed in the challenges facing improved care for #mentalillness.

Here is my example of trying to explain fairly complicated neurotransmitter measurement in non-jargon layperson terms.

Very proud to see CAMH/Univ of Toronto scientist Dr Clement Zai receive the Hamilton Prize at #CINP2023 in Montreal. Among many discoveries, he detailed the role of DRD2 gene in #schizophrenia in 2007 and the VMAT2 target for the TD drug valbenazine in 2012

It's an honour to receive CINP Max Hamilton Memorial Prize at @cinp2023. Grateful to mentors, colleagues, family, and friends to support!

A groundbreaking new CAMH study published in JAMA Psychiatry led by Scientist Dr. Jeffrey Meyer found that people who experienced long #COVID had elevated levels of brain inflammation – raising the possibility of new #treatments. MORE: camh.ca/en/camh-news-a…

We’re pleased to welcome Christine Elliott (Christine Elliott) to our Board of Trustees! Christine was the Minister of Health + Deputy Premier of #Ontario until 2022 and has significant knowledge of, and experience with the health system. She also co-founded the Abilities Centre

I have been very lucky to attend the 64th #McKusickShortCourse on Human and Mammalian Genetics and Genomics. I am learning so much and have met a lot of bright and inspiring researchers in genetics 🧬

Very impressive Tanenbaum Centre CAMH Research group! Also note DNA AND NAD wherein the latter is Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, a key component of mitochondrial energy production.

Doubtful most Canadians are aware of how little we invest in R&D as a nation. This table is highlighted to show how little Australia invests. Canada is even lower on this list.

#FactFriday Did you know that Canada has the lowest spending on research and development among the #G7, with no increase in the last 20 years? #Canada is falling behind in research and development and it's time we catch up 🕐

Lots of interesting @camhresearch data on #precisionmedicine and #pharmacogenetics

I just returned from Harry Rosen’s funeral. He lived a full life of dedication to others including special attention to mental health and supporting CAMH. The quote on his office wall points out that each individual is unique — also true for mental health care.

A CAMH, University of Toronto and ICES study published in the Cambridge UP - Psychology & Psychiatry journal found that teens who use #cannabis are 11x more likely to develop a psychotic disorder, demonstrating a link between self-reported cannabis use and psychotic disorders. ⬇️MORE: camh.ca/en/camh-news-a…

A joint study between CAMH, University of Toronto and ICES study found that teens who used #cannabis had a dramatically higher rate of developing a psychotic disorder.

Excellent addition to the growing datasets for pharmacogenomis in psychiaty!

Well done Ana! Terrific learning opportunity!
