St. Joe’s prepares to launch a groundbreaking psychedelic medical research centre
Hamilton Business Review
“The Centre for Health Innovation and Research in Psychedelics at St. Joe’s is dedicated to advancing the science of medicinal psychedelics. With demonstrated effects on serotonin pathways, neuroplasticity, anti-inflammatory effects and functional connectivity in the brain, psychedelics represent a new frontier in medicine – one in need of strong evidence to guide us.
As an academic health sciences centre with decades of experience leading international, multi-centre clinical trials, St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton is in a unique position to lead research in medicinal psychedelics.
- We are Ontario’s second largest provider of mental health and addiction services and one of the only specialty psychiatric centres in the country attached to an acute care hospital.
- Our researchers have access to functional MRI, EEG and other state-of-the-art brain imaging technology through our Imaging Research Centre.
