Committed to collaborative investigation of the connection between mental health and brain inflammation caused by infections, autoimmune diseases, allergies, and injuries.
The Brain Inflammation Collaborative partners with clinicians, researchers, pharmaceutical companies, and academic institutions to advance the diagnosis and treatment of brain inflammation related illnesses impacting mental health. We offer logistical support for data collection, data analysis and integration of data from your own bio-sample collections, creating the fastest path to improved disease diagnosis and management.
If you’re a clinician or researcher, we look forward to working with you. Please sign up for our newsletter to receive updates on applying for our in-kind grants that include the tools needed for your research. Our application will be available in 2025.
Our Research Strategy
We focus on providing tools and logistical support for data collection and analysis through the unhide® platform. We prioritize collaboration in research aiming to accelerate effective and efficient disease management, as well as those dedicated to expanding existing diagnostic algorithms and measurement scales.
Data Analysis
Analyses of existing or anticipated unhide® data, with or without additions to the platform
Clinical Trials
Proof- of- concept clinical trials evaluating therapies for efficacy and tolerability
Biomarker Studies
Biological studies supporting biomarker identification or repurposing existing therapies in conjunction with the platform.
Reducing Disease Burden
Investigating strategies to reduce disease burden for IACC patients and families and enhance their quality of life
How Are We Different?
We are the only organization taking a comprehensive approach to studying neuroinflammation and mental health by:
- Studying 30+ related conditions together
- Collecting real-world patient data
- Connecting insights across ages and conditions
- Arming patients with tools for self-advocacy
- Partnering with leading research institutions
