Our research has shown that a history of trauma is perhaps the most robust indicator a person with depression has increased inflammatory markers. New York Times has put our research findings in context nytimes.com/2026/06/18/well/…

The aim: get more people better faster, so they can resume what they need to do. Dr. @RudolfUher from @CANBIND explains how biomarker research for depression allows us to “map the person’s own depression landscape”, allowing for a better-informed pairing of patient and treatment. ▶️Watch the full @OntarioBrain talk: lnkd.in/eUmzwTqB #BrainHealth #Depression #MentalHealth
