During the year, the Pharmacogenomics and Transcriptomics Network organises meetings for its members (also at the annual ECNP Congress).

Clinical, -omics and imaging biomarkers of complex psychiatric disorders summer school
The ECNP Pharmacogenomics and Transcriptomics Network and ECNP Suicide Network have organised a summer school.

  • When
    11-13 September 2024
  • Where
    Bordeaux School of Neuroscience, France

This summer school will focus on the integration of clinical, imaging, and genetics/omics biomarkers to diagnose and improve pharmacological treatment of psychiatric disorders and related conditions including suicidal behaviours. 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.

  • Target audience
    The programme is intended for PhD students, early career to senior scientists, clinician researchers, and other professionals in the field. Please note that a basic understanding of the programming language R (elementary level and above) is recommended.
  • Application requirements
    Application form
    - CV and motivation letter
    - Recommendation (head of department)
  • Deadline
    The application must be send via e-mail by 15 July 2024.
  • Registration fee
    The registration fee for the summer school is EUR 300 per participant (transportation not included).
    For more information, please see the flyer and visit the website.
