On 7th October 2025, the environMENTAL Consortium had a productive Steering Committee Meeting in Marseille, France. Hosted by consortium partner, INS – Institut de Neurosciences des Systèmes at Aix-Marseille University, environMENTAL discussed strategies and directions for:
- Gene environment data infrastructure and discovery (WP1)
- Omics characterisation in deeply phenotyped longitudinal cohorts (WP2)
- Mechanistic investigations and drug discovery (WP7)
- Digital intervention (WP8)
The meeting also included fascinating research presentations from:
- Yunman Xia: Simulation and manipulation in the Digital Twin Brain of a functional brain network underlying mental illness
- Spase Petkoski: Model- and data-driven inference for virtual brains with mental illness
- Marcel Jentsch: CLUES: A Comprehensive Workflow for Integrating Geospatial Data in Biomedical Research
Thanks to all who attended for making the meeting so productive.
