Our mission is to establish a financially sustainable research center that stands at the forefront of mental health research by leveraging advanced interdisciplinary neuroscience and neural engineering technologies, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound imaging, electrophysiology, optogenetics, and chemogenetics at Penn State University. The center also aims to facilitate the translation from preclinical research to clinical research in mental health.
