Welcome to CRISP
Comprehensive Research Into Schizophrenia and other Psychopathologies

Our research team is part of the Douglas Research Centre
The second largest mental health research centre in Canada.
We are currently exploring several inter-related dimensions of mental health through the use of diverse and complementary clinical, cognitive, digital, and neuroimaging approaches.

Digital Health
Virtual Reality – Telehealth – Remote Assessment

Psychopathology
Bipolar – Schizophrenia – Transdiagnostic

Neuroimaging

Our Vision
To understand and improve the neurocognitive, clinical, social, and occupational lives of individuals living with schizophrenia and other psychopathologies.

Our research touches on multiple facets of mental illness – from the brain to cognition to symptoms to functioning.
We recognize the multiscale nature of mental health: it is driven by multiple levels (biological to individual to systems), which, when dysfunctional, can lead to mental illness.
To make a difference, we must address this complexity through collaborative research incorporating our distinct expertise.
Our Mission
Conducting innovative, interdisciplinary, and open research through diverse techniques and perspectives.
We unite many areas of expertise to design comprehensive studies, to consider multiple aspects of mental illness simultaneously.
We combine various techniques, from brain imaging to systematic reviews to treatment studies, using qualitative and quantitative methods to tackle our research questions from different angles.
Through our shared commitment to open science, we give back to the community and integrate the voices of those with lived experience of mental illness.
Our Values

Openness
We are committed to open science and to transparency in both our research and lab environments, in order to promote inclusivity and scientific integrity.

Synergy
Integrating our diverse expertise allows us to produce work that is greater than what we could achieve individually.

Collaboration
We are stronger, happier, and more productive when working together towards a common goal.

Innovation
We strive for the leading-edge of mental health research, to drive breakthroughs in basic and applied science.

Symbiosis
We foster a mutually enriching environment, where we can all benefit from the work of others in our group.
