Science Today
for Better Care Tomorrow

The Science and Engineering team at the Child Mind Institute is dedicated to transforming the lives of children with mental health and learning disorders through the power of scientific discovery. To address the growing crisis in children’s mental health, our researchers work to guide interventions by building a rigorous understanding of the developing brain — an understanding based on reproducible scientific results rather than appealing theories or anecdotal evidence.

Five Focus Areas

Our team’s effort to revolutionize brain science is focused on five main areas:

It’s an ambitious program in support of an audacious goal, and our children deserve nothing less.

Fundamental Neuroscience
Biomarker Discovery to Enable Personalized Medicine
Fundamental Neuroscience

One of the greatest barriers to reliably improving mental health interventions is the fact that diagnosis and treatment are subjective. We’re leading a global effort to identify objective, measurable brain- and behavior-based biomarkers to guide clinical practice.
