Title: Severe mental disorders and accelerated biological aging
Speaker: Claudia Pisanu, Italy
Outline: Severe mental disorders such as bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder and schizophrenia have been suggested to be associated with accelerated biological aging, while a potential counteractive role for the mood stabilizer lithium has been hypothesized. During the webinar, we will discuss studies exploring the association between mental disorders and cellular aging, taking into account the role of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment. Novel findings on transcriptional age acceleration and accelerated brain aging will also be presented.
Pharmacogenomics webinar series: Genetic and molecular factors play a pivotal role in determining psychiatric treatment response, shaping the future of precision medicine. The Pharmacogenomics webinar series is organised by the ECNP Pharmacogenomics and Transcriptomics Network.
This online series features leading experts discussing biosignatures for treatment (non-)response, optimising clinical trial strategies, and promoting the transfer of cutting-edge knowledge to improve patient outcomes.
