“Scientists at QBI aren’t just about finding ways to fix brain disorders at a disease level because you can’t repair a damaged brain unless you know how it works in the first place. This approach really appealed to my sense of logic. I saw QBI as the research institute that could find answers, so I decided that this was something I really wanted to get behind.”
– Jeff Maclean, QBI Supporter and Chair of the QBI Advisory Board
