Several PGSG members have been selected to present their work at some of the largest genetics conferences of the year. The 22nd Annual International Genetic Epidemiology Society (IGES) Conference will take place from September 15-17, 2013, in Chicago. This year the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) Annual Meeting and the 2013 World Congress of Psychiatric Genetics will both be held in Boston, Massachusetts, in October.
