We’re the psychiatric genomics lab group at University Hospital Bonn run by Eva Schulte. Follow us to stay up to date with our latest research, conference attendances or social outings.
A late post from this year’s World Congress of Psychiatric Genetics in Mexico! 🇲🇽
@evacschulte.bsky.social was there and got us this snapshot from our colleague @evabeins.bsky.social’s great presentation on the role of microglia in depression. 🧠🧫
We can't wait for WCPG26 in Glasgow! 🏴

Last week, Fatima joined the @eventswcs.bsky.social CRISPR screen course in Hinxton.
The course brought together PhD students and postdocs from around the world to dive into pooled and arrayed CRISPR screening.
A great opportunity to learn, connect, and bring new expertise back to the lab! 🧬✨

Last Friday our group swapped laptops and pipettes for axes 🪓🎯
At our belated summer outing we had a blast trying out axe throwing together. And fittingly, the three wisest (not oldest 😉) members of the team took home the win in one of our competitions. There is proof in the pictures! 🪓👑

☀️ We are happy to have Jente Meijer from the Bonn–Melbourne Joint PhD Program visiting us in Bonn this week! ☀️
Her talk “Towards precision psychiatry using multi-view clustering approaches” was a wonderful opportunity to learn how machine learning can be applied in psychiatry. 🎓🧠💻

Well, that was a blast! Thank you everyone at #eshg2024 for 4 days of inspiring and insightful talks and posters! We‘re proud to have contributed as well with a couple of posters, one of which you can see here, obscured by Laura @kilarski.bsky.social ;) Looking forward to the next one in Milan!
