Hello,
If you can provide a summary of the meeting for those who cannot attend that would be much appreciated. I am interested in a summary of the symposium as well. As an EPI family service user I have returned to university to research and develop a post-genomic rights based mental health sociology to support the long-term health of individuals with schizophrenia. My work considers the link between maternal health and poverty and the development of inflammatory schizophrenia in Indigenous communities. I consider health inequality in Indigenous populations, which involves a historical review of genomics in policy and psychiatric research.
At Oxford Brookes University in the U.K I am assessing the role of mobile genetic elements (HERV-W family in particular) in major psychoses. As a part of PhD work I hope to evaluate the long-term impact of classical medications on HERV related inflammatory schizophrenia. I am interested in current work in EPI on metabolic syndrome to assist with this.
Thank you....enjoy productive meetings.
Best wishes,
Terry-Lee
