MRC funded collaborative research study investigating the causal role of innate immunity in psychosis: aiming to develop new targeted treatment options

[Golam Khandaker @golam_khandaker]

Excited about welcoming colleagues to Bristol tomorrow for our ⁦@The_MRC⁩ Psychosis Immune Mechanism Stratified Medicine (PIMS) Collaboration ⁦annual meeting.

Guest lecture from Prof ⁦⁦@MondelliValeria⁩

⁦@RachelUTG⁩ ⁦@MrcPims⁩ are you ready?

Thrilled to see Fabi @_Fabi_CZ presenting a fantastic topic today on the role of immune regulation in psychosis and mental health @MIDASUoB excited to be part of this work @MrcPims

[Éimear M. Foley @eimear_foley1]

@golam_khandaker discusses temporality, comorbidity, and confounding in #psychosis and #depression, stressing the importance of patient stratification in future #immunotherapy trials.

Join the discussion this afternoon at my poster (G12) 🗣️

[PIMS_MRC @MrcPims]

We conclude the day with fantastic talks on cell and animal models, imaging, and population samples! Thanks
@EdPalmer5, Connor Dunleavey, Alex Murray @IMH_UoB and Rebecca Woods (Manchester)

Thanks to all presenters and those who dialled in!

@MrcPims experimental medicine study looking set for study recruitment later on this year @golam_khandaker @eimear_foley1

[PIMS_MRC @MrcPims]

Our very own @MrcPims post doc Andrey Barskey talks about unpacking the black box of ML, and applying generative deep learning to explicitly model structural brain differences and their relationships with key biomarkers.

[PIMS_MRC @MrcPims]

Great example of @orygen_aus and @IMH_UoB collaborations demonstrated by stellar PhD students @P_Lalousis and @herniman_sarah! Fantastic work using ML and network modelling to map psychosis symptoms and inflammation.

[PIMS_MRC @MrcPims]

The 2nd PIMS virtual away day is about to kick-off! We have a fantastic line-up of ECR talks throughout the morning! First up is @benjmnperry presenting his work on 'Inflammation as a cause of insulin resistance in schizophrenia' @IMH_UoB @RachelUTG @golam_khandaker
