The Clinical Research Department is involved in research, treatment and education. This department contributes to these areas through scientific publications, presentations, and the sharing of knowledge with clinicians and the community at large. Clinical Research is divided into eight sections: Addictions, Centralized Assessment, Triage and Support Program (CATS), Child, Youth and Family, Dual Diagnosis, Geriatric Mental Health, Law and Mental Health, Mood and Anxiety Disorders, Schizophrenia

The Neuroscience Research Department focuses on the mechanisms in the brain that underlie mental illness and addiction and in their respective treatments.

Neuroscience research is divided into the following sections: Biopsychology, Clinical Neuroscience, The Krembil Family Epigenetics Laboratory, Laboratory of Cellular and Molecular Pathophysiology, Molecular Neuroscience, Molecular Pharmacology, Neurobiology of Alcohol, Pharmacogenetics, Psychiatric Neurogenetics, Translational Addiction Research Laboratory
