Functional Genomics of Human Brain Development and Disease

Topics include single-cell and spatial genomics, human brain models, glial biology, neurodegeneration and AI-enabled strategies for connecting genetic variation to mechanism and therapeutics. Sessions cover molecular mapping of the brain, human models of brain development and disease, wiring the brain in space, from neurodevelopment to neuropsychiatric risk, ageing, vulnerability and neurodegeneration, genetics and mechanisms of neurodegeneration, gene regulation and circuit vulnerabilities in disease, and from brain atlases to prediction and therapeutics. The five-day meeting combines talks on unpublished work with extended discussion, poster sessions open to all career stages, and communal meals and free afternoons for informal exchange; attendance is by application.
