About the Company

The Center for Advanced Circuit Therapeutics (C-ACT) is a new centralized research unit, embedded within the Clinical Center for Neuromodulation, Mount Sinai West. The Center supports research activities using imaging, invasive and noninvasive electrophysiology, performance and behavioral metrics, computational modeling, and clinical and research bioinformatics involving surgical neuromodulation patients. This core facility will enable development and testing of new brain-tuning strategies to accelerate the delivery of state-of-the art individualized care for patients with advanced neuropsychiatric disorders. Development and testing of next-generation implantable devices, computation-based algorithms for treatment delivery, and clinical piloting of novel applications will complement ongoing evidence-based care for established uses of DBS and other neuromodulation strategies.
Mount Sinai Health System is one of the largest academic medical systems in the New York metro area, with more than 48,000 employees working across eight hospitals, more than 400 outpatient practices, more than 300 labs, a school of nursing, and a leading school of medicine and graduate education.
