As a collective, the Brain Trust builds a strong foundation of reliable financial support that makes cutting-edge brain research possible.
Watch Lieber Institute Chief Medical Officer Dr. Tom Hyde explain why he does this work, and how nearly 5,000 donated brains power the LIBD’s groundbreaking science.
We envision a world free from mental illness.
Millions of people are impacted by a severe mental illness. Every year one out of five people will experience a major mental health issue which can ripple to impact financial, relationship and medical wellbeing. Mental illness is not new, yet we still do not fully understand why it happens.
That’s where the Lieber Institute for Brain Development (LIBD) comes in.
We believe the brain itself holds the keys to understanding mental illness. We will not stop exploring the brain until we understand the root causes of severe mental illness and options that treat, cure and prevent the disorders.
