ECNP School in Precision Psychiatry

-omics and imaging biomarkers of major psychiatric disorders. 28-30 April

Venue: Bordeaux School of Neuroscience

Psychiatric disorders and suicidal behavior are the result of complex interactions between genomic variations, epigenetic modifications, and other regulatory mechanisms that affect gene expression. Understanding the mechanisms underlying gene expression may not only help in diagnosis and prediction of treatment response but also provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms of drug’s action.
Using, for example, co-expression network analysis-based methods, disease-relevant clusters of co-regulated genes can be identified and further integrated with genetic and epigenetic data for a comprehensive investigation of biological underpinnings of mental illness and for predicting psychiatric disorders and suicide risk.

This summer school will focus on the in tegration of clinical, imaging, and genetics/omics biomarkers to diagnose and improve pharmacological treatment of psychiatric disorders and related conditions including suicidal behaviors. It aims to blend clinical psychiatry with molecular genetics and transcriptomics through theoretical sessions and practical workshops, data management, analysis, and interpretation for psychiatric conditions and traits, including major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and suicidality…
