The Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health located near the University of British Columbia (UBC) hospital along Wesbrook Mall on the UBC campus in Vancouver, Canada, was opened in February 2014. The facility was named in the honour of Dr Djavad Mowafaghian, who donated $15m for its construction.
The new facility is expected to accelerate the research and clinical expertise in neuroscience, psychiatry and neurology to gain new knowledge that will be used to improve treatment and prevention strategies. It was jointly developed by the University of British Columbia and Vancouver Coastal Health, and brings together clinicians and scientists for the benefit of patients across the world.
