Faculty Spotlight
Meet CBITs' New Director: Andrea Graham
"When I joined CBITs in 2018, it felt like coming home. I had long admired CBITs as a global leader in digital mental health and behavioral health innovation, and I was inspired by its commitment to developing evidence-based technologies that expand access to care. Since then, I have had the privilege of helping grow the Center's research portfolio, partnerships, training programs, and national visibility. What excites me most about CBITs is our ability to bring together scientists, clinicians, designers, technologists, and community partners to tackle some of the most pressing health challenges of our time through innovative, accessible, and impactful digital solutions."
