Day 1: NIDA/NIAAA Mini-convention on Genetics and Epigenetics of Substance Abuse, Friday Sept 9, and Call for Invited Posters
This satellite symposium to the World Congress on Psychiatric Genetics sponsored by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism on Friday, September 9, 2011 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel, Washington, DC highlights recent advances in the field of the genetics and epigenetics of substance abuse. The impact of co-morbid psychiatric disorders on the genetics of substance abuse will also be discussed. The invited speakers are Ken Kendler, Laura Bierut, Howard Edenberg, Joel Gelernter, Paul Kenny, and Eric Nestler. Eric Green, the Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute will be the keynote speaker. Eric Green will speak about future directions for genetic and genomic research at NIH.
A call for invited posters on the genetics and epigenetics of substance abuse with or without co-morbid disorders is also being made for this meeting. An honorarium of $250 will be given to each of the 40 scientists whose abstracts are accepted and attend the meeting. Submissions will be reviewed on a competitive basis by NIDA and NIAAA program staff. The deadline for submission is now May 18, 2011 by the close of business day. Please submit abstracts and CV to Posterabstracts@seiservices.com.

Day 2: NIAAA/NIDA Next generation sequencing technologies and Medical sequencing approaches for complex disorders
The purpose of this workshop is to develop consensus research strategy based on new developments in sequencing technologies or next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. The production of large numbers of low cost sequence data makes the NGS platform useful for many applications especially human genomics. The application of NGS technologies to the identification of genes conferring vulnerability to alcohol dependence and substance abuse will be discussed.
No registration necessary.
