The BRC-MH and BRU-D are pioneering multidisciplinary translational research and experimental medicine in the areas of mental health and neuroscience. They bring together researchers, clinicians and allied health professionals from the UK's largest NHS mental health service provider (SLaM), and the Institute of Psychiatry (IOP), the largest academic community in Europe dedicated to the study, treatment and prevention of mental health problems and neurodegenerative disease. The IOP offers excellent opportunities for research training in basic and clinical science across the mental health spectrum on one campus, with further strong links with our BRC partner at Guy's, King's and St Thomas' hospitals.
