GNSRL Council
Council on Multiomics and Cognitive Health
Multiomics research connecting biological systems, cognition, resilience, and mental health.
Council Mandate
Research, governance, and applied foresight
This council studies how biological systems influence brain function, cognition, and mental wellbeing across the lifespan. It integrates genomics, epigenomics, metabolomics, microbiomics, and neuroscience research to better understand cognitive health and brain functioning. The council focuses on identifying biomarkers, pathways, and environmental factors affecting mental resilience, disorders, and decline.
