✨Get EXCITED!✨ It's time for the PGC-FG main account takeover! For the next 2 weeks Natasha Berthold and Eva Schulte will be taking you through year 1 of PGC's Functional Genomics Working Group. So join us, as we get to know PGC FG and celebrate 1 year up and running🥳!

It wouldn’t be a year in review🗓️without our awesome chairs Jens Hjerling Leffler ⭐️⭐️🇺🇦⬜️🟥⬜️ (📷1) and @Mlynall (📷2) A big shout out🥳to the time and effort they put into making PGC-FG a reality! We asked them what their one major reflection of this year is, and this is what they said...👉🏽

Next up, let’s introduce you to our two Social Media Reps! We're here for the #functionalgenomics🧬, and #Science #Communication📡is a🔑key part! We asked each of them to tell us what they think #functionalgenomics can achieve in psychiatry🧠 Check out their responses👉🏽

📢First up is Multi-OmicQTLs📢 lead by Laurence Nisbet and Xueyi Shen We asked them the big ‘Purpose’ question⁉️... …and here’s what they said👉🏽 Stay tuned📻 for their highlight post tomorrow! 🧵2/2

Now you’ve met the Functional Validation group, let’s take a sneak peek🫣at the✨mainoutcomes✨of the group this year ! Check out their responses👉🏽
