Project news

📢 Exciting opportunity! ERASMUS MC seeks a talented Postdoc Researcher to investigate epigenetics and intergenerational psychiatric risk. Joining the European-funded FAMILY consortium, you’ll develop prenatal exposure scores based on DNA methylation at birth. Examine whether the transmission load score is stable over time and predicts the development of psychiatric problems. Explore score stability, predictive abilities, and test for sex differences, especially resulting from X-chromosome inactivation. Apply now and make a difference! Find more information here.

The EU-funded research project FAMILY kicked off on November 2^nd – 4^th 2022. The meeting was held on site in Rotterdam, the Netherlands and was full of vivid discussions as well as social interaction.

Our partners from Nijmegen (RADBOUDMC) held a talk about “Epigenetics and Psychopathology: What is the importance of timing and role of intergenerational transmission” at the University of Munster on 28^th February 2023.

Our partners from Nijmegen (RADBOUDMC) will attend this year’s Dutch Neuroscience Meeting (DNM) taking place in Tiel, The Netherlands on 22^nd – 23^rd June 2023 and are also planning to give a talk. Stay tuned for further information.

Our partners from Latvia (LU) will organise a symposium on the “Prediction of severe mental illness in child and adolescent psychiatry” and have a talk on “Ethical issues in personalized risk prediction of severe mental illness in the context of inter-generational transmission of risk”.

Our partners from Nijmegen (RADBOUDMC) will attend the Annual Meeting of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM) organise a symposium taking place in Montréal, Canada on 22^nd – 26^th July 2023 and will organise a symposium on neuroimaging-genetics.
