Francesca Procopio

Presenting my work on predicting psychopathology, cognitive, and anthropometric traits in the population and within families at #WCPG2024

Seminar @SGDPCentreKCL @KingsIoPPN with Engin Keser, Lucie Burgess and Francesca Procopio on Thursday 9th May 2024, 10:00-11:00am.

New preprint. We isolate genetic effects that are shared across 11 major psychiatric disorders to gain further insight into genetic specificity and comorbidity over and above transdiagnostic effects. @EnKeser @WangjingyiL 's first PhD manuscript 💫 researchsquare.com/article/rs-378…

New CoDE Lab preprint: “Gene-environment correlation: The role of family environment in academic development”. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Jointly led by @QuanZhouu and @AgaGidziela. Below is a short summary of our findings 👇🧬r🌳

Prof Robert Plomin, founder of TEDS, was awarded a CBE for his services to scientific research! Congratulations to Prof Plomin, who recently received his award from Princess Anne. Thank you to all of the TEDS families who made so much of this research possible 🤩

@LetsTalk_FPL A 4-5-1 with Trent.

Going to use some of your drafts for a video and hopefully collect the data to see where the Twitter template falls vs the overall template. Just reply with a screenshot of your current draft, including the bench from the FPL website/app 👇 🙏

HEALTH INEQUALITIES - themes from conferences last week: 🚨 “The UK is not a good place to be poor” 🚨 “Very different to live in poor vs rich UK neighbourhoods” 🚨 “Inequalities are rising in Norway” 🚨 “Socio-demographic inequalities in mental health - ignored AND neglected”

A pleasure to co-chair a session on investigating specificity in psychiatric disorders using Genomic SEM. 4 wonderful talks by 4 💫 first year PhD students @BreunigSophie @WangjingyiL Engin Keser & Jeremy Laurence. @Andrew_Grotz @QM_SBBS @IBG_CUBoulder #BGA2023

First @CoDEScienceLab talk at #BGA2023 @atoziye shows how spatial ability predicts STEM outcomes, particularly related to choice, beyond other cognitive abilities. 💫 @QM_SBBS @QM_Psych @SGDPCentreKCL

Coming to #BGA2023 and interested in education?🧬🇪🇸 Come to our symposium Fri 1pm on Education & (Non)Cognitive skills, featuring work by @SheroJeffrey @cignae @saraannhart @Francesca_Pro5 @KailiRimfeld @QuanZhouu @MarghMalanchini @RosaCheesman @NTRscience. And see 👇

Interested in neurodevelopmental disorders and their co-occurrence with disruptive, impulse-control and conduct disorders? Check out our new meta-analysis. Spearheaded by the brilliant @AgaGidziela with stellar collaborators 💫nature.com/articles/s4156… @NatureHumBehav @QM_SBBS

Congratulations to Robert Plomin, awarded CBE in the UK New Year's Honours List for his services to scientific research. Thrilled to see his brilliant work on behavioural genetics and the @TedsProject recognised in this way. @SGDPCentreKCL @KingsIoPPN
