Fantastic to be part of @BrainGenHub launch yesterday - working together towards improving diagnosis & understanding of bipolar & psychotic disorders. And realising our goal of making our research hub a true community
@BipolarUK @Adferiad_ Hub lead, Professor James Walters emphasised that current approaches to mental health diagnosis and treatment often result in a delay in receiving effective treatments and life-changing symptoms from medications. 💊 The Brain and Genomics Hub hopes to change that.
