Our research centre has merged

The Centre for Mental Health and Brain Sciences was established in 2023 – merging together the Centre for Mental Health, the Centre for Human Psychopharmacology and the Swinburne Neuroimaging Facility – to lead Swinburne's psychological and neurobiological mental health research.

We run clinical trials in partnership with some of the world’s leading healthcare and pharmaceutical companies, as well as those funded by government grants and other sources. This means we’re always looking for people from all walks of life to participate in studies of the brain, cognitive function and mood. 

If you would like to participate in our research, please browse our currently recruiting studies. If you believe you meet the eligibility criteria, fill out the online registration form and a member of our team will contact you. 

We also have studies that are no longer recruiting volunteers. Some have recently finished while others have already been published in scientific journals. Find out more about these studies by browsing either the in-progress or completed studies. If you have previously participated in a trial and are interested in finding out the results, we will continue to update these pages, so please keep checking back. 

Our research ethics and integrity

Our researchers are committed to the highest ethical, professional and scholarly standards. All our studies conform to the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research, Good Clinical Practice and the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research.
