The Second Annual Pharmacogenetics in Psychiatry Meeting

April 11 & 12, 2003

A Category 1 CME Conference

Sponsored by the Department of Psychiatry Hillside Hospital Organizing Committee

Anil K. Malhotra, MD
James L. Kennedy, MD, CAMH

About the Program

Pharmacogenetic strategies are increasingly being utilized to identify biological predictors of psychotropic drug response as well as to provide novel targets for psychotropic drug development. Consequently, the field of pharmacogenetics in psychiatry is rapidly developing within academia and the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. This meeting has been designed to provide a forum for a specific focus on developments in psychiatric pharmacogenetics.

The Pharmacogenetics in Psychiatry Meeting includes sessions presenting the latest pharmacogenetics data from around the world.


Topics will include:

  • prediction of clinical response to the new antipsychotic drugs
  • genes associated with the development of adverse side effects
  • candidate gene studies of antidepressant response
  • developments in the identification of candidate alleles for the action of the antianxiety agents
  • novel statistical approaches to dissect the heterogeneity of drug response
  • mircroarrays and new technologies
