Call for Abstracts: ECR Presentations
Are you an early career researcher working with molecular data to better understand mental illness? We want to hear from you!
We invite abstract submissions from research assistants, PhD/masters students and postdoctoral researchers working in neuropsychiatric omics and related fields. Submissions are welcome from ECRs across both the MHP network and other institutions.
Deadline for abstract submission: Friday 11th December. You will be notified on abstract outcomes by Wednesday 23rd December at the latest.
Presentations are encouraged under four themes:
Cohorts, molecular measurements and data resources: Working with an exciting cohort or dataset that could benefit from some fresh perspectives? Tell us about it! Share the resources you're working with, highlight their potential, and spark new ideas and collaborations.
Multi-omics integration and cross-cohort research: Combining different types of omics data or working across multiple cohorts? Share your approaches, challenges and discoveries! Whether you're integrating molecular measurements or comparing findings across cohorts, we'd love to hear how you're bringing datasets together to uncover new insights.
Statistical methods and analytical challenges: Created a new method to analyse omic data? Or currently running into challenges interpreting your data? Use your presentation to share your method, problem-solve with others, or jumpstart new projects to address these unsolved questions!
Emerging biological insights and clinical relevance: Have some exciting unpublished findings that could shed new light on biological processes, disease mechanisms, or patient health? Share your emerging results and discuss what they might mean for our understanding of biology and their potential clinical implications.
There will be dedicated time for discussion during the sessions, and time for informal networking and discussion between sessions. This event is a platform for future collaboration – we strongly encourage presentations from in progress work.
