Cerebral Imaging Centre
The Douglas Cerebral Imaging Centre (CIC) is a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to conducting preclinical and clinical brain imaging research in the field of mental health. It was conceived as an incubator for translational research, where animal imaging studies would serve to enrich the knowledge base derived from human studies and vice versa. Director Mallar Chakravarty,…
Clinical Research Innovation Centre
CRIC supports Douglas clinician-researchers in designing and delivering clinical research in a compliant manner—providing practical tools, operational support, and regulatory guidance. Our mission Building on existing Douglas capacities, CRIC is developing a self-sustaining, Health Canada–regulated clinical research program to bring cutting-edge innovations to patients across adult and child psychiatry. What we support Investigator-initiated studies (IITs)…
