🌟 A Look Back: CTRI at APA 2026

What an incredible week in San Francisco! The Center for Translational Research Innovation (CTRI) had the privilege of joining thousands of psychiatry leaders, researchers, and clinicians at the American Psychiatric Association Annual Meeting 2026, held at the Moscone Center, May 16–20.

From thought-provoking keynote sessions to powerful conversations on the meeting floor, this year's APA reminded us why we do what we do — advancing translational science to transform mental health care.

✨ Highlights from the week:

🧠 Scientific Leadership — Our senior scientists shared groundbreaking research on next-generation psychiatric therapeutics and biomarker discovery.
🤝 Meaningful Connections — Hundreds of conversations with collaborators, students, and partners who share our mission.
🎶 The APA Gala — A beautiful evening celebrating the people behind the science. Thank you to everyone who joined us!

💡 Implementation Principles — Engaging dialogue on how we translate discovery into real-world impact.
