Abstract

The aim of this paper is to describe the conceptual and practical development of the Brain and Mind Research Institute (BMRI) at the University of Sydney. The key conceptual framework of the BMRI is reviewed and contrasted with other biomedical institutes. The major timelines for appointment of key personnel, development of infrastructure and implementation of clinical capacities are presented. The BMRI has developed over 15000 square metres of designated basic research and clinical space. This is thanks to major investments by the University of Sydney, the Australian and NSW governments and the wider community. Amelioration of the burden of disease due to disorders of the brain and mind may result from a conceptual and practical move away from the traditional emphasis on single disorders or narrow research platforms.
