The UCLA Depression Grand Challenge (DGC) aims to reduce the burden of depression on health and well-being in half by 2050 through breakthroughs in genetics, brain science, treatment, and de-stigmatizing the world’s greatest unmet medical need. At its core, the DGC is driven by UCLA's conviction that new approaches are needed to prevent, diagnose, and treat depression.
