  comorbidities. It is a heritable disorder and increasing samples sizes ha

 discussing his paper combining the three largest genetic studies of depres
 sion and highlight some of the important findings from that research. He w
 ill also then cover some of the latest and ongoing work on genetics and de
 pression.\n\n*Biography:* Dr. David Howard is a Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoc
 toral Research Fellow based at King’s College London. Prior to this he w
 orked in the Division of Psychiatry at the University of Edinburgh. His pr
 imary research focus is the use of genetic data to help understand the bio
