The mission of The Lieber Institute for Brain Development is to translate basic genetic and molecular mechanisms of schizophrenia and related developmental brain disorders into clinical advances that change the lives of affected individuals. Established with historic philanthropic support from founders Stephen and Connie Lieber and Milton and Tamar Maltz, the Lieber Institute is a unique private medical research institution focused on key genetic and environmental signals that construct the human brain and influence cognitive health and disease. The Lieber Institute is the only institution in the world focused exclusively on understanding the neurodevelopmental origins of schizophrenia and related psychiatric disorders and translating this understanding into improved treatments.
