- New publication in @nature.com. MVP EHR linked genomics enables ancestrally diverse analyses, uncovering ancestry independent signals, 100 plus new schizophrenia loci, and convergent neurobiology with global relevance. www.nature.com/articles/s41... @timbigdeli.bsky.social @panosroussos.bsky.social
- New open-access Translational Psychiatry paper: multi-omic integration + drug repurposing to identify FDA-approved treatments for opioid use disorder. Led by POP-GEM’s B. Todd Webb, PhD. Approach generalizable across complex traits & disorders. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #OUD
- (1/2) Congrats to Tadeusz Wroblewski and co-authors on their new JAMA Network Open paper using NIH All of Us data! The study reveals racial disparities in post-TBI neuropsychiatric outcomes and highlights the impact of structural and social factors on recovery. @timbigdeli.bsky.social

- (1/6) We’re excited to present “Advancing the Understanding of Depression Genetics Through Research on Latin American Genomes” at #WCPG2025! 🌎✨ Mon Oct 20 | 9:45–11:15 AM Blue River 3 – Convention Center, Cancún Led by Drs. @roseannpeterson.bsky.social @nscorralfrias.bsky.social 🧵...
- Congratulations to #LanieMullins, PhD student #VCU_VIPBG, on receiving the Rising Star Award at #BGA2025 🎉 Her poster using #UKBiobank data linked immune system markers (MLR/NLR) to depression, with NLR emerging as a stronger predictor in older adults.
- 🚨 New paper out! In a collaboration across MVP, FinnGen & UK Biobank, we conducted a phenome-wide study of sex chromosome trisomies (SCT) in 1.5M participants. Findings reveal shared disease risks across SCT. 🔗 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
- 🧬 Join us at #APA2025 in LA for the invited symposium: "Electronic health records, genetics, and the promise of precision psychiatry" Tues, May 20th | 3:45–5:15 PM PDT @roseannpeterson.bsky.social opens with PsycheMERGE: using EHR-linked biobanks to promote equity in psychiatric genomics.
- (1/1) 🧠🌎 Just published in Nature Genetics: “Psychiatric genetics in the diverse landscape of Latin American populations” A comprehensive review of progress, challenges, and future directions. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #PsychiatricGenetics #GlobalGenomics
- (2/2) Despite the high burden of mental health conditions, Latin American and Caribbean populations remain underrepresented in psychiatric GWAS. This review highlights: 🧬 Genetic diversity 📉 Gaps in data and representation 🤝 Opportunities for collaboration
- Reposted by POP-GEM Lab📃 I am excited to share our @naturegenet.bsky.social review paper on the state of psychiatric genetics in Latin America, put forth by the Latin American Genomics Consortium (LAGC)! 🎉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
