CHCF Brain Foundation

"Promoting research to develop personalized medicine for serious and life-threatening diseases of the brain"

Mission Statement: The primary research area of focus is to accelerate funding of translational research to fund the development of iPSC lines from patients suffering from life threatening suicidal ideation. By doing this we will identify novel mechanistically sound and validated targets for early diagnosis and drug discovery making it possible to cure the diseases of brain that affect our mental health.

CHCFbrain.org is a non-profit organization and advocacy group, centered around mental health and learning disability with focus on long-term solutions. 

Many non-profit mental health organizations address short-term goals, such as:   

• improving access to existing care for everyone 

• continued education of professionals modernizing the way these conditions are treated  

• providing mental health education in our schools  

• removing stigma and educating public, parents, and family  members on how to look for early signs of depression and anxiety to address  these conditions effectively 

The long-term goals, which are the focus of CHCF , are to promote research to: 

• identify the root cause(s) of serious mental health conditions, learning disabilities and neuro-developmental delays and disorders with mental health manifestations

• develop objective unbiased "blood based" diagnostics

• develop curative therapies based on these not yet identified or characterized genetic and epigenetic markers
