RESEARCH FOCUS
Neurobiology of Depression and Aging (NDA)
Directed by Etienne Sibille, Ph.D.
The goals of CAMH’s NDA research program are to (1) discover and investigate biological mechanisms underlying major depression, life-long maturation or aging of the brain, and their respective interactions, (2) to develop hypothesis-driven assays and biomarkers for use in human subjects, (3) to test mechanisms in rodent models and cell-based systems, and (4) to use this knowledge to develop strategies for novel disease-monitoring and therapeutic approaches.
