PhD seminar, Happy to share: convey your research with confidence 

​​In a recent seminar, four of our colleagues engaged in activities to enhance their public speaking skills. The seminar fostered connections as our colleagues had the opportunity to interact with fellow Ph.D. students at Region H Psychiatry. This event provided a platform for PhD students to hone their abilities and showcase their ongoing research endeavors. Two of our colleagues took center stage, delivering presentations on their ongoing research and receiving feedback from the audience.

World Congress of Psychiatric Genetics ​2023

Nadia Micali CEDaR lead and Stefana Aicoboaie PhD student recently participated in the World Congress of Psychiatric Genetics (WCPG) held in Montreal last week. This year's WCPG, centered around the theme "Putting People First in Psychiatric Genetics".

During the conference, Stefana presented her poster, which explored the connection between polygenic risk scores and transdiagnostic vulnerability traits in a population-based youth sample. 

Nadia organized and co-chaired a symposium on eating disorders: 'Putting the people puzzle together: mapping real-life cross-disorder and disorder-specific phenotypes and genomics in eating disorders' focusing on new and innovative studies investigating how genomics shape the differences among ED diagnoses, the intersection between EDs and other psychiatric disorders, and how genetic risk for AN influences clinical phenotypes.
