יחידת המחקר הוקמה במטרה להעמיק את הידע בהפרעות נפשיות, ביטוייהן הקליניים, פתו-פיזיולוגיה וגישות טיפוליות, ולעידוד פעילות מחקרית ע"י צוות רב מקצועי במרכז הרפואי. מטרה נוספת ליצירה והעמקת ידע, היא הרחבת קשרים מקצועיים עם מוסדות רפואיים ואקדמאים בארץ ובעולם.
ביה"ח מסונף לפקולטה לרפואה בטכניון, ויחידת המחקר מהווה בסיס למתן הוראה לסטודנטים לרפואה מהטכניון. התפתחות היחידה במהלך השנים, הביאה לכך שהיום לוקחים חלק נכבד בפעילותה רופאים של המרכז, ומתמחים כחלק מתוכנית ההתמחות בפסיכיאטריה, במסגרת מדעי יסוד, במהלכה מבצעים את עבודת מדעי היסוד במרכזנו.
עד כה בוצעו עבודות ע"י כ – 40 מתמחים. חלק ניכר מתוצאות עבודות אלה פורסם בעיתונות מקצועית בינלאומית.
רוב העבודות מתמקדות בחקר הפרעות נפשיות על היבטיהן השונים כגון: סכיזופרניה, הפרעות אפקטיביות, שיטיון (דמנציה), מחקרים בתחום פסיכו-פרמקולוגיה.
נעשים מחקרים המתמקדים בחקר של שילוב סכיזופרניה עם הפרעה כפייתית טורדנית, כך שהפרסומים הרבים בעיתונות בינלאומית, הביאו להכרה שמדובר במחלה מיוחדת המצריכה שיטות אבחון וטיפול מיוחדות. פיתוח שיטות האבחון והטיפול, מתבצע ביחידת המחקר במרכז הרפואי לבריאות הנפש מעלה הכרמל.
