Collaborates globally to collect and integrate large-scale brain research data, apply machine learning and mathematical models to develop multiscale computational models that can transform our understanding of brain disorders. The Centre coordinates the organization, integration, analysis, visualization, and modelling of data across all levels of the brain — from genes to circuits to behaviour.
Neuroinformatics is an area of research that uses complex data analysis, artificial intelligence and computer modelling to uncover new insights about the brain. By combining these approaches, researchers can study multiple and extensive collections of data about the brain. Researchers seek to understand and depict the brain’s structures, how it works and how a range of factors play a role in mental illness.

Krembil Squared Retreat
The Krembil2 Retreat was held on June 2, 2022, in Toronto and highlighted current and future collaboration opportunities between KCNI and the Krembil Brain Institute at UHN. During this full-day event, researchers, clinicians and trainees came together to brainstorm and explore strategies to build new bridges to accelerate discoveries, support existing collaborations, and develop a shared infrastructure for data management and analysis that bridge mental health and brain disorders.
Open Science momentum grows stronger in Canada with a new commitment by its largest mental health teaching hospital
As part of its commitment to Open Science, CAMH is formally adopting a set of Open Science Principles to foster collaboration and the sharing of mental health research findings with scientists in Canada and around the world.
The Krembil Centre continues to mature, while becoming recognized as a global leader in neuroinformatics, being at the forefront of key regional, national and international collaborations.
BMO is proud to extend their partnership with CAMH through a $5 million philanthropic commitment to support independent research in CAMH’s Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics (KCNI) and to help build a new leading research centre.
