LIVE LOUNGE

• This talk will present DATAMIND which is a health data research hub for mental health.
• We’ll discuss the core activities of this research hub including the FAIR curation of mental health data.
• We’ll show how the DATAMIND hub is cataloguing and curating UK mental health data rich datasets which are within the fields of genomics, routine care, trials for research, the NHS, academia, industry and so on.
• Finally we’ll cover how patient and public engagement is a core aspect of the project.

• Sleep is fundamental to our health, and its disruption, as seen widely in today’s 24/7 society can precipitate multiple long and short-term diseases.
• Despite its importance, the molecular underpinnings of sleep remain largely enigmatic.
• My lab works on the gene regulatory landscape that controls the timing of sleep and circadian rhythms.
• Here I will present our latest findings on how chromatin accessibility changes in key brain regions changes across the day and in response to sleep deprivation, and its consequences on brain function and health. 
  

• How diet influences epigenetic regulation of gene function, and its impacts on subsequent cardio-metabolic health outcomes
• Overview of the DIMENSION Consortium
• The intersection between epigenetic and functional genetic changes after food intake, and the potential of personalised nutrition

• There is an immense lack of diversity in genetic research.
• Very few studies are carried out in low- and middle income countries In one of the largest dedicated studies of depression genetics, we are recruiting 9,000 patients from across Pakistan
• I will present the first genetic findings from this novel, deeply phenotyped cohort
• We investigated the genetic risk factors for developing treatment resistant depression which is responsible for the majority of the burden of this disorder
  

• Importance of prenatal/perinatal tissue (placenta, cordblood)
• Definitions of prenatal stress
• Overview of findings from prenatal studies and our own findings
• Directions for future studies 
  

• Epigenetic regulation by stress during prenatal, postnatal and adulthood.
• Animal models and human studies to study epigenetic mechanisms.
• Epigenetic regulation by influenced by genetics.

• Speed Networking: Fun and useful sessions where you’ll rapidly meet other Festival attendees to immediately expand your network.
• Food Options : Grab a coffee and a cake at The Tree of Life Cafe or head on over to the Food Village for a range of hot food options including Indian, Jamaican and Thai food
• Exhibition Floor : Wander around the vibrant exhibition floor to see the latest technologies and services on offer
• Talkaoke : The Flying Saucer of Chat, a fun and interactive pop-up show that offers you the opportunity to sit down with others and discuss any topic you like.

• First dedicated research resource in this country to help us understand how health conditions can specifically affect people from Black communities
• King’s College London in partnership with NIHR BioResource and Genomics England building research cohort up to 10,000 Black participants
• How Black community PPI contributed to every step in IBHO design and delivery

• Overview of how Genomics England are ensuring equity
• The potential of large scale datasets

• The DNA, Children + Young People’s Health Resource is led by the NIHR BioResource in partnership with the NHS, and created with children, young people and parents from inception
• Most diseases start in childhood but most research is carried out with adult participants. What is the role of genetic research involving children and young people in overcoming child and adult health problems, and reducing burden on healthcare system
• How does digital recruitment overcome traditional barriers to research participation in underrepresented populations, both children and minority ethnic communities, and work to address health inequalities they face D-CYPHR facilitates research into a wide range of physical and mental health areas, allowing access to data, samples and recall of consented volunteers by genotype and/or phenotype
