This two-day symposium, chaired by Steve Hyman, Guoping Feng and Ben Neale, will bring together leading scientists working on the genetics, neurobiology, and treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and related neuropsychiatric disorders.
The central theme this year will address the challenges of turning genetic results that reveal extreme polygenicity into useful biological insights that can help patients. Graduate students and postdoctoral associates are especially welcomed to this symposium in order to build this interdisciplinary field and address the unmet medical needs of patients and their families at a time of great opportunity and urgency.
