A late post from this year’s World Congress of Psychiatric Genetics in Mexico! 🇲🇽 @evacschulte.bsky.social was there and got us this snapshot from our colleague @evabeins.bsky.social’s great presentation on the role of microglia in depression. 🧠🧫 We can't wait for WCPG26 in Glasgow! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #WCPG25

@evacschulte.bsky.social is at ASHG 2025 in Boston - make sure to stop by at her poster and learn more about ongoing work on ✨Lipids as a link between genetic risk factors and mental health disorders ✨ 🧬🧠 #ASHG2025 @geneticssociety.bsky.social

@lea202.bsky.social is taking us to the functional side of psychiatric genetics today with her poster on ✨ massively parallel characterization of common risk variants for mental health disorders in glutamatergic neuron ✨at @ecnp.eu 🧠🧫🧬 #ECNP2025

Join @kilarski.bsky.social for her poster presentation today on her project “Expression and splicing outlier analysis in whole-blood transcriptomes of individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders” located at the psychiatric genetics section! 🧠🧬🌌 @ecnp.eu #ECNP2025

Our PhD student @anoja.bsky.social presented her first ever conference poster today at @ecnp.eu 🎊🧠📊 There was tons of interest in her work on: ✨ Molecular characterization of a “severe psychosis” subgroup in the PsyCourse study ✨ #ECNP2025

Congrats to @maheshgouda.bsky.social for winning a @ecnp.eu excellence award 🏆for his poster titled: ✨Transcriptomics highlights immune cell contribution to lithium response in bipolar disorder ✨ 🧬👨‍🔬🧠 #ECNP2025

🎓👏 We’re proud to announce that our colleague Khaoula Ferchichi successfully defended her PhD last Tuesday! Big congratulations to Dr. Ferchichi on this huge achievement🥳🥂

Last week, Fatima joined the @eventswcs.bsky.social CRISPR screen course in Hinxton. The course brought together PhD students and postdocs from around the world to dive into pooled and arrayed CRISPR screening. A great opportunity to learn, connect, and bring new expertise back to the lab! 🧬✨

Last Friday our group swapped laptops and pipettes for axes 🪓🎯 At our belated summer outing we had a blast trying out axe throwing together. And fittingly, the three wisest (not oldest 😉) members of the team took home the win in one of our competitions. There is proof in the pictures! 🪓👑

☀️ We are happy to have Jente Meijer from the Bonn–Melbourne Joint PhD Program visiting us in Bonn this week! ☀️ Her talk “Towards precision psychiatry using multi-view clustering approaches” was a wonderful opportunity to learn how machine learning can be applied in psychiatry. 🎓🧠💻

Congratulations to everyone involved in this great new paper! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

✨Psygenomics Lab escapes the psych ward! ✨ We had a lot of fun at our early Christmas outing at the psychiatry-themed escape room! 🧠🕵️‍♀️🎄

Congratulations to the TRANSLATE-NAMSE team and thank you for this fascinating paper! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The Third Law is that you are likely to get volunteered for new work when you are not present at the committee meeting

Well, that was a blast! Thank you everyone at #eshg2024 for 4 days of inspiring and insightful talks and posters! We‘re proud to have contributed as well with a couple of posters, one of which you can see here, obscured by Laura @kilarski.bsky.social ;) Looking forward to the next one in Milan!

Getting excited about ESHG 2024! #eshg2024

Eva and lea202.bsky.social are at the Wellcome CRISPR conference (coursesandconferences.wellcomeconnectingscience.org/event/crispr...) right now, where Lea presented our project on high-throughput functional annotation of schizophrenia risk genes using CRISPR knock-out screens.

Hello world!
