Effective date: November 4, 2019

Cohen Veterans Bioscience is a non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity research organization dedicated to fast-tracking the development of diagnostic tests and personalized therapeutics for the millions of veterans and civilians who suffer the devastating effects of trauma-related and other brain disorders. CVB manages several social media pages to share information and create a community where people can learn about and discuss issues relevant to brain health.

When you engage, comment or respond to one of our posts, you are also agreeing to our Community Guidelines that follow.

Please Stay On Topic

Profanity, harassment or threatening content or behavior will also not be tolerated. If you wish to contact us about careers, funding or partnership opportunities, please use our website contact form (https://www.cohenveteransbioscience.org/contact/) instead of contacting us through social media.
