ISPG 2024 World Congress of

Psychiatric Genetics

Submissions

The International Society of Psychiatric Genetics (ISPG) warmly invites you to attend the World Congress of Psychiatric Genetics (WCPG), October 15-19, 2024, in Singapore. These are exciting times in psychiatric genetics. With unprecedented data availability, we are moving from gene-identification to understanding mechanisms of psychiatric disorders, allowing for a rethinking of psychiatric categorization and for new intervention approaches to be envisaged.

The WCPG is the premier international scientific meeting for research in psychiatric genetics and related areas. Leading experts of genetics, neuroscience, and psychiatry from all over the world will be participating.

The theme of this year’s WCPG is “Psychiatric Genetics in a Diverse World.” This theme underscores our commitment to understanding the vast spectrum of psychiatric genetic research across different populations and cultures, in supporting excellence in research throughout the world and ensuring findings in psychiatric genetics benefit everyone.

We look forward to welcoming you to WCPG 2024 in Singapore!

2024 WCPG Program Chairs,
