Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. At Rücklab, we are conducting multiple research projects with the goal of better understanding, predicting, and preventing suicide. Some of our research projects include:
The Saving Lives project aims to create the world’s largest multimodal suicide cohort by combining genetic and environmental data. By identifying various risk factors and developing prediction models, the project seeks to improve the prediction and prevention of suicide. [Learn more here]
