Mood Disorders Ottawa
MDO is a registered nonprofit, volunteer-run organization
that supports people with mood disorders and their loved ones.
You are invited to MDO's Speaker Night
Presenting
Jess Fiedorowicz MD, PhD
University of Ottawa
Join us to learn more about Dr. Fiedorowicz’s valuable research on
Integrated Network for Bipolar Disorder - Breakthrough Discoveries (BD²)
BD² aims to learn about research participants’ daily lives to provide a scientific basis for new, targeted treatment options and drive a path towards wellness.
This initiative is connecting thousands of participants and their care teams to a network of experts, allowing for real-time collaboration between study participants, scientists, and clinicians. The shared information and knowledge from this collaboration have the potential to drive discovery in bipolar disorder in a way that has never been done before in mental health or neuroscience.
The BD² Integrated Network works to improve the health and well-being of people living with bipolar disorder by engaging a network of collaborating investigators and clinicians to:
-
implement and inform data-driven improvements in care
-
build an unprecedented data ecosystem comprised of longitudinal clinical and biological data
-
generate novel insights that will drive innovative approaches to bipolar disorder interventions and treatments.
