🏆Congrats to Sara Stinson for being awarded the #EFSD Rising Star Fellowship for her project: METRIC: Midlife multi-omic trajectories linking #T2D to late-onset #Alzheimer’s disease.

We look forward to your #EASD2026 lecture & wish you continued success with your #research!👏

A new study by Dennis van der Meer and colleagues in AJP reveals that severe mental disorders share extensive genetic links with metabolic markers, insights that help pave the way for precision “metabolic psychiatry”. @DvdM33r @APAPubJournals https://t.co/hxwQw0Ukmm

Congratulations to Oleksandr Frei and collaborators in the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium on this comprehensive cross-disorder study in @Nature, showing that 14 psychiatric disorders share a broad genetic foundation captured by 5 core genomic factors

On December 1, Kristin Fjelnseth Wold will defend her PhD thesis “Long-term outcome in first-episode psychosis: Results from a prospective longitudinal ten-year follow-up study”. Congratulations! 🎉

Excited to share our new cross-disorder GWAS analysis of neurological and psychiatric disorders (~1 M cases), now out in @NatureNeuro. We reveal a greater degree of genetic pleiotropy than previously recognized.

On this year’s #WorldMentalHealthDay, we emphasize mental health's importance in humanitarian emergencies. About 20% of people in conflict regions have a mental health condition. Prioritize mental health for recovery and rebuilding.

New paper out! Our GWAS on screen behaviours among adolescents (N=18.5k) uncovers the first genomic loci for social media use and reveals shared genetic signal with mental disorders and educational attainment. #Screentime #MentalHealth #Genetics https://t.co/Wq2pLQnL4j

[Norment @SFFNORMENT]

Impressive and important work by @KevinOC87, @oleaandreassen and collaborators in @PGCgenetics on the genomics of bipolar disorder published in @Nature 👏

Did you know it takes an average of 8 years to diagnose #BipolarDisorder?
Newly published research from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (https://t.co/h5s7SDta8X) aims to improve this by learning more about the condition’s biology. Now in Nature: https://t.co/QmKFVDPvvB

Job alert!🚨 3-year postdoc position available at the Centre for Precision Psychiatry related to multimodal prediction algorithms for Alzheimer’s disease using data from genetics, neuroimaging, biomarkers and cognitive tests. Deadline Feb 6. Please share! https://t.co/WvahmaiZ7l

[Piotr Jaholkowski @JaholkowskiP]

New paper alert! Our paper 'Charting the shared genetic architecture of Alzheimer's disease, cognition, and educational attainment, and associations with brain development' is out in Neurobiology of Disease! @SFFNORMENT

New preprint! Strong genetic overlap between severe mental disorders and blood metabolic markers. Fascinating patterns: opposite effect directions of the markers on major depression versus bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. https://t.co/H0kCsWi0Wy. #metabolicpsychiatry

[Viktoria Birkenæs @avbirken]

New @MoBa_study preprint on psychotic experiences in adolescents out now!✨

[PGC Consortium @PGCgenetics]

📢 New preprint by Kevin S. O'Connell reveals major findings in bipolar disorder genetics! Analyzing 158K+ BD cases & 2.8M controls, the study identified 298 genome-wide significant loci—a 4x increase from prior research. 🧬🧠 #BipolarDisorder #Genetics #MentalHealth
