BD2 is seeking additional clinical sites to join its Integrated Network, aiming to advance understanding of bipolar disorder. The network, spanning 11 institutions, combines longitudinal cohort study and learning health network to improve care outcomes.
Researchers will explore external risk factors, neural circuits, and molecular signaling to understand mood state switching in bipolar disorder. The new grants will also focus on women's health and sex differences in the condition.
The BD² Integrated Network Longitudinal Cohort Study combines clinical, biological, neuroimaging, and real-world behavioral data to transform understanding of bipolar disorder. The release includes data from 615 participants, covering mood, cognition, brain structure, wearable sensor data, and biological samples.
