🏆Congrats to Sara Stinson for being awarded the #EFSD Rising Star Fellowship for her project: METRIC: Midlife multi-omic trajectories linking #T2D to late-onset #Alzheimer’s disease.
We look forward to your #EASD2026 lecture & wish you continued success with your #research!đź‘Ź
ALT Promotional graphic for the EASD Annual Meeting 2026, taking place in Milan, Italy from 28 September to 02 October. The graphic announces Dr. Sara Elizabeth Stinson as a recipient of the EASD Rising Star Symposium and EFSD Rising Star Fellowship. A circular headshot of Dr. Stinson - a young woman with long blonde hair, wearing a dark top and smiling - is displayed on the right side. The EASD 2026 Milan branding appears throughout, with a stylised Milan skyline illustration in navy blue on the right. The website address easd.org is shown in the bottom right corner.

A new study by Dennis van der Meer and colleagues in AJP reveals that severe mental disorders share extensive genetic links with metabolic markers, insights that help pave the way for precision “metabolic psychiatry”. @DvdM33r @APAPubJournals doi.org/10.1176/appi.ajp.202…

Excited to share our new cross-disorder GWAS analysis of neurological and psychiatric disorders (~1 M cases), now out in @NatureNeuro. We reveal a greater degree of genetic pleiotropy than previously recognized.

On this year’s #WorldMentalHealthDay, we emphasize mental health's importance in humanitarian emergencies. About 20% of people in conflict regions have a mental health condition. Prioritize mental health for recovery and rebuilding.

Did you know it takes an average of 8 years to diagnose #BipolarDisorder?
Newly published research from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (bit.ly/3JkuokY) aims to improve this by learning more about the condition’s biology. Now in Nature: go.nature.com/3PJhi3W
