In light of the recent Canada Post disruption, online giving is the quickest and most effective way to support CAMH Foundation. Thank you for your understanding and support.
Collaborates globally to collect and integrate large-scale brain research data, apply machine learning and mathematical models to develop multiscale computational models that can transform our understanding of brain disorders. The Centre coordinates the organization, integration, analysis, visualization, and modelling of data across all levels of the brain — from genes to circuits to behaviour.
Neuroinformatics is an area of research that uses complex data analysis, artificial intelligence and computer modelling to uncover new insights about the brain. By combining these approaches, researchers can study multiple and extensive collections of data about the brain. Researchers seek to understand and depict the brain’s structures, how it works and how a range of factors play a role in mental illness.

Recent News from the Krembil Centre
The Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics (KCNI) hosted its 2025 Open House on September 29, bringing together scientists, trainees, and collaborators to explore how computational neuroscience, predictive analytics, and digital innovation are transforming mental health research and care.
Through panels tracing the journey from biological discovery to clinical application, speakers highlighted advances in genomics, brain modeling, and AI-driven prediction that can identify risk earlier and personalize treatment. Discussions also explored how digital technologies—from chatbots to wearables—are reshaping care delivery with a focus on ethics, trust, and equity. The event concluded with networking and posters, underscoring KCNI’s commitment to advancing science that is predictive, personalized, and profoundly human.
Open Science momentum grows stronger in Canada with a new commitment by its largest mental health teaching hospital
As part of its commitment to Open Science, CAMH is formally adopting a set of Open Science Principles to foster collaboration and the sharing of mental health research findings with scientists in Canada and around the world.
The Krembil Centre continues to mature, while becoming recognized as a global leader in neuroinformatics, being at the forefront of key regional, national and international collaborations.
Dr. Tristan Glatard, with support from a transformative investment from Brain Canada, is leading the Brain Health Data Challenge Platform (BHDCP) to empower researchers globally to address complex brain health questions using advances data science. Open AI challenges are an established tool for accelerating innovation in medicine from cancer research to imaging. The platform will enable scientists to develop equitable and reproducible AI models for mental health.
