GIGA
The global Imaging Genetics of Adolescents Initiative (GIGA) is a collaboration between several major cohorts in UK, Europe, USA, China, and India who investigate health outcomes in children and adolescents via behavioural and imaging genetic studies.
Its aim is to enable comparative research on brain development and behaviour in different cultures, environments and ethnic groups, both in industrialized nations and low and medium income countries (LMIC). To this end GIGA is working towards harmonized data acquisition, retrieval, and analysis.
