UC joins novel bipolar research and clinical care network

UC joins the University of California San Diego, The University of Texas at Austin and The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research as four new institutions joining the six inaugural institutions in the network.

Working in partnership with clinicians, researchers and people living with bipolar disorder, the BD² Integrated Network was established to expand knowledge of bipolar disorder while accelerating the translation of that knowledge into clinical care. An international site will be announced in the coming weeks.

“These new sites significantly expand the BD² Integrated Network and propel our collaborative model forward. This is another step toward realizing our mission to shorten the time it takes for research to improve treatment and care for those living with bipolar disorder,” said Cara Altimus, PhD, managing director for BD² and senior director at the Milken Institute.
