Neuroscience Institute of Schizophrenia and Allied Disorders (NISAD)
NISAD is a non-profit, NHMRC accredited, independent research institute undertaking world-class studies to understand the causes of schizophrenia.
Formed in 1996 and funded by Government, corporate and private donations, it is an innovative “institute without walls” which utilises research and infrastructure facilities located in teaching hospitals, universities and research institutes, as well as domestic and international collaborations, in driving its proactive research agenda.
This means that rather than investing valuable funds in bricks and mortar, efforts are directed at research initiatives to improve the lives of those affected by the disease.
From its central management office currently located within the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney, NISAD manages and coordinates a multi-disciplinary research program led by scientists of world-standing in their fields, harnessing cutting-edge technology and state-of-the-science techniques.
With some 40 employees and more than 120 scientific affiliates, graduate students and undergraduates, the Institute is committed to achieving its goals through a comprehensive approach combining world-class research, effective management and creative mechanisms to share the vision and attract increased funding to accelerate the scientific program.
