The iLab, aims to bring together patients, clinicians, and researchers to collaborate and share ideas, all with the goal of improving mental health care. Since 2012, we’ve been working to turn the latest scientific insights into practical solutions that make a real difference in clinical practice, with a special focus on personalizing care.

As part of the University Psychiatry Center at the University Medical Center Groningen, we team up with experts locally, regionally, and internationally to drive mental health care innovation. We also focus on education, offering professionals opportunities to apply new knowledge in real-world settings.
