General description
This webinar brings together four distinguished researchers to shed light on the genetic basis of mental illness, the impact of genetic variation and developmental trajectories on psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders, and the future of translating genetic findings into patient care.
Featured Presentations
- The Psychiatric Genomics Consortium: A Deep Dive into the Fundamentals
Dr. Patrick Sullivan, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ; Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
Dr. Sullivan will describe the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium, a high-impact initiative that has generated fundamental insights into the genetic basis of mental illness. - Precision health for psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders
Christa Martin, Ph.D., FACMG, Geisinger Health System
Dr. Martin will discuss basic and clinical aspects of psychiatric disorders. Dr. Martin is also a principal investigator for the Genes to Mental Health Network, which focuses on understanding the role of genetic variation in rare psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders. - Developmental trajectories in common neuropsychiatric disorders modeled in organoids
Dr. Flora Vaccarino, Yale University
Dr. Vaccarino of the PsychENCODE Consortium will describe molecular studies and developmental trajectories of mental illness. - Genetics at the service of psychiatric care
Francis McMahon, MD, Intramural Research Program, National Institute of Mental Health
Dr. McMahon, from the Division of Human Genetics of the NIMH Intramural Research Program, will describe exciting directions for linking genomic findings to patient care.
