Dr Eyre supports the development of innovations in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental health disorders with advanced technologies and biomarkers, such as genomics and big data analytics. Ultimately, his goal is to work within teams to advance the field of mental health, to reduce human suffering from disorders like depression.

Dr Eyre is currently Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of CNSDose, a company which has developed a world-leading genetic test to determine the best antidepressant treatment for people with depression. Chaired by The Hon Andrew Robb AO, the aim of CNSDose is to personalise antidepressant treatments, and therefore reduce the suffering that is caused by trial-and-error prescribing.
In 2016, Dr Eyre was awarded his PhD from The University of Adelaide on the brain mechanisms of geriatric depression. During his PhD, he was awarded the W.G.
