Monash Alfred Psychiatry Research Centre (MAPrc)
MAPrc develops new treatments, new understanding and new services for mental illnesses.
MAPrc is the Monash Alfred Psychiatry research centre. We are based at The Alfred, a major teaching hospital in Melbourne, Australia. We carry out world-class research to help make a difference to the lives of people suffering from serious mental illnesses.
We constantly seek to find practical ways to apply what we learn from our research and our work in the hospital environment to identify unmet needs and new areas for study.
MAPrc is part of Monash University’s Central Clinical School and The Alfred's Department of Psychiatry. MAPrc coordinates and facilitates all research that is performed within the Department of Psychiatry.
