7th International Imaging Genetics Conference Posted By: David Kennedy - Jan 6, 2011Tool/Resource: NITRC Community REGISTRATION IS STILL OPEN for the 7th International Imaging Genetics Conference Where: The Beckman Center of the National Academy of Sciences in Irvine, California When: January 17th and 18th, 2011 For registration information: http://www.imaginggenetics.uci.edu/regis... The International Imaging Genetics Conferences bring together national and international experts in neuroimaging, genetics, data-mining, visualization and statistics. Targeting physicians and scientific researchers, this annual conference features presentations from investigators world-wide and places emphasis on facilitating in-depth discussions among the participants and presenters. Given the known importance of both genetics and environment in brain function, and the role of neuroimaging in revealing brain dysfunction, the synergism of integrating genetics with brain imaging will fundamentally change our understanding of human brain function in disease. To fully realize the promise of this synergy, we must develop novel analytic, statistical, and visualization techniques for this new field. The Seventh Annual International Imaging Genetics Conference will be held on January 17th and 18th, 2011 at the Beckman Center of the National Academy of Sciences in Irvine, CA. We look forward to seeing you at this exciting upcoming event.
