World-Class Mental Health Research

The Jane and Terry Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA is a world leader with a distinguished record of achievement over the last half century. We are dedicated to the discovery of better treatments, prevention strategies, and cures for neuropsychiatric disorders. What makes the Semel Institute unique is its transdisciplinary approach to translational research. We translate discoveries made at basic neuroscience level to patient care, ultimately improving population-level outcomes and providing a true benefit to society.
