Along with the conclusion of the Seoul workshop, we also welcome the new Chair and Vice Chair, @AmyBrodtmann and @bakker_mk ! And a huge thank you to outgoing chair @BBWorrall for his all his hard work! #ISGC2025 #StrokeGenetics

Thank you, Seoul! Great workshop, great talks, great food and great networking!

A recap of the poster rapid fire session: Dutch efficiency! 🏃🛎️🏃🛎️🏃🛎️ #ISGC2025 #StrokeGenetics

After a very lively poster session and lunch we start up the scientific sessions again with proteins and genetics with Michael Chong from 🇨🇦! #ISGC2025 #StrokeGenetics

How do we tackle the challenge of patient-level drug response prediction? Keynote Sun Kim shares his insights and experiences. #ISGC2025 #StrokeGenetics #DeepLearning

The lively discussions continue during the first coffee break of the day☕️

Learning underway🤔🧐 Keynote speaker Dr. Lee Yi Chung from Taiwan lecturing on Neuronal Intranuclear Inclusion Disease and his group’s incredible work on this condition 🧠#ISGC2025 #StrokeGenetics

Day 2! After a successful first day, co-host Dr. Jay Chol Choi kickstarts the final day with a captivating talk on hereditary global SVD #ISGC2025 #StrokeGenetics

We are honoring the legacy of Michele Sale by awarding the Michele Sale award to a highly talented mid-career woman in stroke genetics. Congratulations to Dr. Tara Stanne for the well deserved award!

Honored to welcome keynote Dr. Joohon Sung, speaking on penetrance of rare variants linked to stroke. Rare variants may be abundant, but clinical relevance is everything. Excited to hear how his research can bridge the gap from discovery to care. #ISGC2025 #StrokeGenetics

What’s so special about the gut-brain relationship? @Strokegenomics @ISGC2025 #stroke genetics #microbiome#gut #brain Prof Brad Worrall presents associations with stroke severity and gut microbiome results from the GEMSTONE study.

A bidirectional relationship between the gut microbiome & stroke outcome exists 🦠 But which species matter & can we intervene? We don’t know yet. Brad Worrall is set to find out in the GeMSTONE project. First results being presented now! #ISGC2025 #StrokeGenetics #Microbiome

Dr. Minhui Jiang presents integrative analyses of loci underlying short- & long-term functional outcomes after stroke. Highlight: data from 10,000 patients → 6 loci identified, linked to multiple candidate proteins. 🚀 #ISGC2025 #StrokeGenetics #StrokeOutcomes

Dr. Zhe Xu presents on the genetic determinants of sex-specific functional outcomes after stroke 🧬🧠 Exciting insights into how sex differences can help understand recovery and guide future precision medicine. #ISGC2025 #StrokeGenetics #StrokeOutcomes

Are you ready for the latest research in stroke outcomes? 🧠 Our session chairs Tara Stanne and Jeong-Yoon Lee certainly are. And we can’t wait to get started! #ISGC2025 #StrokeGenetics #StrokeOutcomes
