I couldn’t be more thrilled to share one of the main research papers from my PhD is out! We present a novel nanoparticle with promising theranostic (simultaneous diagnosis and treatment) of thrombosis. Thanks to everyone who made this possible. doi.org/10.1002/smll.2…

Another first prize from our group. Karla Prada @NanoKarlaPrada winning the best presentation prize at QCVRN & Heart Foundation Research Showcase yesterday. Big congrats, Karla. Proud of you @QCVRN @heartfoundation @Griffith_Uni @QmncGriffith @AIBNatUQ #theranostics #thrombosis

@UQscience Congratulations to Dr Yengo for being awarded the Ruth Stephens Gani Medal for his contributions to human #genetics. The medal honours the contribution to science in human cytogenetics by the late Ruth Stephens Gani. #ShineDome22 @UQ_News

@MichelleKLupton @Britt_Mitchell1 @nhmrc @QIMRBerghofer Congrats Britt!

@Britt_Mitchell1 @nhmrc @QIMRBerghofer Big congratulations!!! So happy for you 👏🥳

Thrilled to have been awarded an @nhmrc emerging leadership investigator grant to continue my work in depression genetics! Very grateful to my mentors, colleagues and collaborators @QIMRBerghofer and beyond for their unwavering support and encouragement

Our article summarising some of the key challenges for the field of psychiatric genetics is out now in @NatureGenet. As always, an absolute pleasure to write this with @DerksEske and @zac_gerring @QIMRBerghofer nature.com/articles/s4158…

Gather round, Twitter folks, it's time for our beloved **Alice's adventures in a differentiable wonderland**, our magical tour of autodiff and backpropagation. 🔥 Slides below 1/n 👇

Very happy to share this pre-print from the PGC Suicide Working Group and the Million Veteran Program, “Genome-wide association study meta-analysis of suicide attempt in 43,871 cases identifies twelve genome-wide significant loci” @uofu_hmhi @PGCgenetics medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Wonderful that our AGDS data could contribute to this!!

Enjoyed this great NYT article on APOL1, its association with kidney disease in African Americans and the related drug development efforts. It's story telling time. Let's dive into the story of APOL1 from discovery to therapeutics. 🧵 nytimes.com/2022/05/17/hea…

Elon Musk should buy 23andMe and release all GWAS summary statistics

@Britt_Mitchell1 Are you in the Gold Coast? 😅

Not a bad spot for a holiday

@XimePrada 🙄

@Nichvelasco Eso nich! @XimePrada

No me gusto Batman sorry team Edward

Dr Loic Yengo of @IMBatUQ has been awarded the Ruth Stephens Gani Medal 2022 for outstanding contributions to research in human #genomics to address questions about the causes and consequences of human behaviour. @UQ_News #Honorifics22 #gani?TWH" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">science.org.au/supporting-sci…

Together with @scipod_social we've made a podcast about our @NatureComms paper: #MendelianRandomization study of #maternal influences on #birthweight and future #cardiometabolic risk in the #HUNTcohort Listen here or where you get your podcasts: scipod.global/do-maternal-in…

Drug combinations can overcome therapy resistance but the number of possible combinations is vast. Today we published @nature a study using pharmacological screens in cancer cell lines and multi-omics analysis to identify effective combinations in defined molecular backgrounds.

Review of polygenic predictors of anti-depressant response identifies 11 paper. Modest effects of diverse polygenic scores associated with response, but larger studies needed. See also our @PGCgenetics a/d GWAS + polygenic paper doi.org/10.1016/j.bpsg… sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Proud to announce a #PhDposition in genetic epidemiology at @UniOslo_MED: jobbnorge.no/en/available-j… The candidate will be working on a @forskningsradet project with @evans1_d @bmbrumpton @BAsvold @DeborahLawlor2 and me using data from @theHUNTstudy and @uk_biobank Please RT!

A swimming 🏊‍♀️/ academia 👩‍🎓 tale I swim most mornings in our local pool. It’s empty between the committed 6am-ers, and the post-school-run parents. A lovely Zen-like start to the day. [And if you need to ask me a big favour, choose to meet me at 8.30 or 9] 1/6

Today I saw the impact that AlphaFold is having on speeding up drug discovery firsthand:
