Centers of Excellence

The Department of Psychiatry embodies two of NYU Langone Medical Center's Centers of Excellence.

The Center of Excellence on Addiction focuses on both prescription and illicit drugs, as well as addictive behaviors.  By establishing a University-wide, multi-disciplinary consortium of programs, researchers and clinicians facilitate collaboration on program development; and bring together healthcare professionals, faculty, basic and clinical research and training programs. The center spans the full range of addiction research, teaching, and care.  To ensure that the translational "arrow" truly goes both ways, the center will have research informed treatment, and treatment-informed research with the goal of maximizing clinical and public health benefits.

The Center of Excellence on Brain Aging and Dementia integrates a broader range of investigators and clinicians across the NYU network-creating an extraordinary translational research and clinical capability with an unprecedented opportunity to look at the whole picture-from one cell in the brain to the entire person.  Collaborating at the highest level, we will advance on all fronts against this cruel and deadly adversary.
