Welcome We are excited to be hosting the 5th year of our annual International Imaging Genetics Conference. This international symposium was held initially to assess the state of the art in the various established fields of genetics and imaging, and to facilitate the transdisciplinary fusion needed to optimize the development of the emerging field of Imaging Genetics. The conference has helped to define and document progress in the field and to create a dialogue for the challenges and opportunities it faces. The first four International Imaging Genetics Conferences brought together national and international experts in neuroimaging, genetics, data-mining, visualization and statistics. Targeting physicians and scientific researchers, this annual conference features presentations from investigators world-wide and places emphasis on facilitating in-depth discussions among the participants and presenters. The 3rd and 4th conferences offered new workshops on Imaging for Geneticists and Genetics for Brain Imagers. These workshops will continue in the upcoming years Given the known importance of both genetics and environment in brain function, and the role of neuroimaging in revealing brain dysfunction, the synergism of integrating genetics with brain imaging will fundamentally change our understanding of human brain function in disease. To fully realize the promise of this synergy, we must develop novel analytic, statistical, and visualization techniques for this new field. The Fourth Annual International Imaging Genetics Conference will be held on January 19th and 20th, 2009 at the Beckman Center of the National Academy of Sciences in Irvine, cfCA. We look forward to seeing you at this exciting upcoming event.
