The World Congress of Psychiatric Genetics (WCPG) is the premier international scientific meeting for research in psychiatric genetics and related areas.
Leading experts from national and international research centers in the area of genetics, neuroscience, and psychiatry will be participating.
The theme of this year’s WCPG is “Genetics: Driving the Renaissance of Psychiatry”. Among other topics, we will highlight how genetics improves diagnostics and treatment of neurodevelopmental disease, provide an update on pharmacogenetics in psychiatry, and discuss how results from large scale genome-wide association studies can be translated for clinical application.
Furthermore, we will explore how we can best integrate genetic findings with molecular and cellular function and combine information on the envirome with the genome for refined risk prediction.
Scientists from all over the world will again come together for this conference to share their expertise, research findings and personal experiences with the goal of improving the quality of life for those living with psychiatric disorders.
