Governance

The leadership of the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health is supported by an Executive Committee, which plays an advisory role in supporting decision-making and strategic planning initiatives related to future direction. The Centre has established several Working Groups which report to the directors and are each aimed at addressing key priorities for our neuroscience community. An external Scientific Advisory Board provides guidance with the Centre's strategic priorities and governance.
