Advancing Mental Health Through Translational Research
When Science Embraces Real Life—Healing Begins
Bridging research, care, and lived experience to transform outcomes in neuroimmune psychiatric disorders. We connect real-world insight to the natural history of illness, helping drive more precise science, more equitable care models, and smarter systems of support.
What We Do
We are not a research institution or clinic — we are strategy and management consultants who support and connect the people driving innovation in mental health. From early study design to cross-sector collaboration and data strategy, we help transform bold ideas into real-world impact.
Our Services
Real-world study design
Smart data tools for actual care settings
Provider-researcher integration
We help researchers design and implement studies that reflect the complexity of real life—not just controlled lab settings. Our goal is to ensure research leads to meaningful improvements in how people are diagnosed, treated, and supported across systems.
Provider-researcher integration
Smart data tools for actual care settings
Provider-researcher integration
We support therapists, psychiatrists, and other frontline professionals in contributing to research—so their insights shape new discoveries and help bring science back to the point of care.

Smart data tools for actual care settings
We design custom tools and data systems with direct input from providers, researchers, patients, and staff. Our solutions simplify participation in research, streamline data collection, and support tracking outcomes—without disrupting care delivery or day-to-day operations.
The Case for Natural History
Despite decades of study, we still lack longitudinal, real-world data on psychiatric illness — especially in immune-involved, neurodevelopmental, and trauma-linked conditions. Most research captures only short-term snapshots, missing the dynamic and evolving nature of mental illness.
This creates bottlenecks across care and discovery:
- Delayed diagnosis despite early symptom onset
- No biomarkers for targeted treatment or monitoring
- Underrepresented populations and limited trial endpoints
- Gaps in evidence for clinical adoption and policy change
- Trauma has measurable impacts on immune, metabolic, and neural systems—yet remains under-tracked in longitudinal studies.
We’re closing these gaps with structured, interdisciplinary data — to advance discovery, improve diagnostics, and reshape care around how mental illness really unfolds.

The Neuroimmune Research Consortium
Mental health research remains fragmented — especially for psychiatric conditions with immune, biologic, or multisystem components. As a result, we lack a true understanding of how mental illness unfolds over time.
The Neuroimmue Research Consortium brings together clinicians, researchers, and advocates to aggregate the natural history of mental illness — creating the scientific foundation needed for better diagnostics, more targeted care, and true mental health parity.
By bridging disciplines and removing systemic barriers, we help translate discovery into real-world impact.
