Why Participate in Research?
Our research programs are revolutionizing the world’s understanding of brain trauma. Our CAMH and Canadian Concussion Centre research teams work in concert with Boston University and our Global Brain Bank sites in Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom to ensure the science for imaging CTE in vivo is advancing efficiently and cohesively.
