UT San Antonio

A multidisciplinary, international school and workshop dedicated to advancing cutting-edge research in Neuroepidemiology in the Omics era

Founded by leading researchers, Professors Stéphanie Debette and Sudha Seshadri, this annual event brings together a vibrant global community for an immersive, cross‑disciplinary training experience.

Since 2015, the program has united students, early‑career investigators, and senior scientists across neurology, epidemiology, imaging, bioinformatics, and statistics—building a collaborative network that now spans continents.

At the heart of the workshop is an intensive curriculum designed to empower participants with cutting‑edge expertise. From advanced brain‑imaging techniques to state‑of‑the‑art omics approaches, attendees gain hands‑on exposure to the latest methods shaping the future of vascular and brain‑aging research.

Neurepiomics maintains a strong partnership with the CHARGE Consortium (Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology), reinforcing its dedication to large‑scale, team‑science innovation. Each year, the workshop convenes in a different international hub, with past gatherings hosted in Bordeaux, Boston, Paris, Kyoto, Arcachon, San Antonio, and Santiago—expanding its reach and strengthening its global scientific community.
