ENIGMA - Enhancing Neuro Imaging Genetics through Meta Analysis
A consortium of international research leaders.
The ENIGMA Consortium brings together researchers in imaging genomics, neurology and psychiatry, to understand brain structure and function, based on MRI, DTI, fMRI, genetic data and many patient populations.
The best return on our research investments will come from combining our data to achieve the large samples necessary to detect the modest gene effect sizes that we now know are the rule rather the exception for complex traits. Dr. Adamson is part of the ENIGMA working group.
Research Goals
ENIGMA Consortium
- To create a network of like-minded individuals, interested in pushing forward the field of imaging genetics
- To ensure promising findings are replicated via member collaborations, in order to satisfy the mandates of most journals
- To share ideas, algorithms, data, and information on promising findings or methods
- To facilitate training, including workshops and conferences on key methods and emerging directions in imaging genetics
