The Psychiatric Genetics Group, led by Profs Nastassja Koen and Shareefa Dalvie, proudly represented the NI at the World Psychiatric Genetics Congress in Singapore this past October.  Presentations and/or posters were given by post-doctoral fellows Mary Mufford, Megan Campbell, and Lerato Majara; by doctoral students Kristien van der Walt, Deborah Jonker and Charlotte Chalumbila; and Master’s student Mia Lombard. 

A total of eight presentation/poster prizes were awarded at the Congress, with one going to Lerato Majara and one to Megan Campbell – congratulations to them and a lovely win for psychiatry in South Africa!
