Huntsman Mental Health Institute (HMHI) is hosting the first annual University-wide Mental Health, Brain and Behavioral Science Research Day. Research Day is an opportunity for faculty, students, and staff to learn about and share research from across the University of Utah related to mental health, brain and behavioral science.
“This creates an opportunity to engage with people from colleges across the University from diverse backgrounds and disciplines," says Deborah Yurgelun-Todd, PhD, Vice Chair of Research at Huntsman Mental Health Institute. “We are incredibly excited about Research Day and how it will grow and change in years to come.”
The University will bring together academics, researchers, and experts from throughout the University of Utah to showcase innovative work in their respective fields. The intention is to foster collaboration to improve health care outcomes for everyone.
