Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red

CIBERSAM is a publicly-funded research network based in Spain which aims to improve the quality of life of patients with mental disorders through coordinated multi-center research, which currently includes 23 multidisciplinary research groups. Of these, two CIBERSAM research groups from Madrid will be involved in PRISM 2, namely the group at Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón, which is led by Dr. Celso Arango, and the group at Hospital Universitario La Princesa, which is led by Dr. José Luis Ayuso.

With regard to our involvement in PRISM 2, CIBERSAM will support WP3, during which we will recruit and assess Alzheimer Disease (AD) patients (n=20), Schizophrenia (SZ) patients (n=20), as well as healthy controls (HCs, n=30) at both sites. In addition, CIBERSAM will lead WP5 regarding the compliance with ethics requirements and engagement with regulatory groups, agencies, and other stakeholders. In WP2, we will contribute to the analysis and management of the data generated in both the PRISM and the PRISM 2 project, including assessment of the reproducibility and sustainability.
