The PGC Functional Genomics workgroup serves as a dynamic hub for collaborative, open discovery science and scalable method development. We aim to understand how genes, cells and molecules impact the symptoms and course of psychiatric disorders in populations globally.

To celebrate #InternationalWomensDay2025 @DrNiamhRyan and @JMK_Yang have been contacting some of the incredible #WomeninSTEM working in the PGC! Stay tuned as we hear about their research, goals and some of the women who have supported their journeys. #WomenSupportingWomen

Excited to share our latest paper from a collab w Patrick Sullivan and others where results from two different data-driven approaches (GWAS/human-snRNAseq and fMRI) converge on the amygdala and hippocampus as key regions for schizophrenia: nature.com/articles/s4146… 🧵

Amazing achievement and very exciting to see how #functionalgenomics help to interpret the data 🧬🧠 Check it out to find out the details 👇

PPGC Consortium@PGCgenetics · Jan 22

It’s the largest genome-wide study of bipolar disorder to date, identifying 298 genetic regions linked to the condition and is the first large-scale multi-ancestry genomic analysis of the disorder, resulting in a newly identified region in East Asian samples!

Did you know it takes an average of 8 years to diagnose #BipolarDisorder? Newly published research from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (bit.ly/3JkuokY) aims to improve this by learning more about the condition’s biology. Now in Nature: go.nature.com/3PJhi3W

We have not been around for even a year and today we see the first major @PGCgenetics paper with a @PGC_FG contribution out in print ! Amazing achievement of everyone involved 🏆🧬💪 #bipolardisorder #nature #GWAS #genetics nature.com/articles/s4158…

pgc_fg's tweet card. Nature - Using multi-ancestry genome-wide association study and fine-mapping, 298 loci and 36 credible genes are identified in the aetiology of bipolar disorder.
