A MESSAGE FROM OUR DIRECTOR: STUDYING THE BIPOLAR BRAIN
"Every year brings growth and innovation! This past year has been like no other and we are thrilled to share the progress and growth in the program, despite having to adapt to a new normal. The Prechter Bipolar Research Program is thriving in every way — celebrating the 15th year of our longitudinal study, seeing new advances in several of our labs, and driving new and meaningful collaborations in the international community of bipolar researchers.
2021 marks 20 years since the death of Heinz Prechter. Heinz had bipolar disorder. Upon his tragic death the family decided that they would do something to bring this dangerous illness into the light; they bravely refused to keep his illness and his suicide quiet and created what is now the Heinz C. Prechter Bipolar Research Program.
The legacy of Heinz lives in so many places throughout Michigan and in the hearts of so many people."
