Drury Depression Institute Launch Event
June 9 @ 10:00 am - 4:40 pm PDT

Be part of what’s next in depression research.
Join us on June 9, 2026, as we celebrate the launch of the Noel Drury, M.D. Institute for Translational Depression Discoveries at UC Irvine.
This gathering marks an important milestone—the launch of the first institute in the country to formally unite multiple schools in a coordinated effort to address depression. By bringing together leaders across medicine, engineering, biological sciences, public health, and social ecology, the Institute fosters a new level of interdisciplinary collaboration.
Join us for a day of scientific exchange, collaboration, and forward-looking discussion. The program will feature leading experts exploring topics from early life adversity and adolescent mental health to neurobiology, emerging technologies, and the social determinants of health, along with a keynote address by Conor Liston (Weill Cornell Medicine).
More than a series of presentations, this convening is designed to catalyze collaboration and accelerate the translation of discovery into meaningful improvements in care and prevention.
