🚨 Proud to share that our paper on the genetic links between type 2 diabetes (T2D) and hypertension is now published in @NatureComms! We dissect the genetic relationship between T2D and hypertension — and show it is not driven by a single shared pathway. 🧬 (1/N)

🚨 PhD opportunity 🚨 The Whelan lab, along w Mike Brockhurst, are looking for a PhD student w bioinformatic experience/interest to investigate the evolution of transmissibility in bacterial pathogens, with a focus on P. aeruginosa. findaphd.com/phds/project/b…

.@Joni_Coleman & I are looking for a bioinformatics/genetics PhD student in this joint MRC industry PhD scheme "Unveiling Disease-Causing DNA Repeats with Long-Read Sequencing" - a 4 year PhD funded by @nanopore & @The_MRC iCASE scheme. kcl-mrcdtp.com/project/unveil…… #MRCDTP25

"An R Package Assessing Shared Predisposition between Phenotypes Using Polygenic Scores" New research from @philippefroguel & colleagues explores the potential of Polygenic Scores (PGS) to assess shared genetic predispositions between phenotypes ⬇️ karger.com/hhe/article/89…

@StoryScotland Spot doing his best to help us cross, was one of the highlights of my trip!

The best way to get to Skye in my opinion, tied in with exploring the Glenelg area!

We loved seeing everyone at Monday's science and new beginnings London Genetics Network event @UniOfSurrey Huge thanks to the speakers, poster presenters and all our attendees , and our funding as a SIG from @GenSocUK

Today the UK approved a gene therapy to treat sickle cell disease and thalassemia. It’s the first treatment ever to be licensed using the gene editing tool Crispr and will have huge implications for people living with these conditions. bbc.co.uk/news/health-67…

@marina_vab @emgm2023 Great talk!

Had the pleasure of speaking about my project on integrating Mendelian randomization and literature-mined evidence at @emgm2023 last week. Also got a mention for the best poster runner-up! 🤩

Really excited to participate in @emgm2023 in the @UniOfSurrey Today I will have the opportunity to present my work on the shared artiology between elevated blood pressure and diabetes! On top of that the weather is incredibly nice today in Guildford #emgm2023

@ukscone @tmhrtly Likely, they had centuries to develop the procedures.

Forgive the somewhat morbid question but... is the Queen's coffin refrigerated? how do they stop it decaying over 10 days outside a morgue?

Science is one universal human legacy, that being passed on and everyone is entitled to. No matter of century, culture, politics.

Many thanks to all our speakers, poster presenters and participants of #EMGM2022. Looking forward to #EMGM2023 in Surrey.

@zkutalik Latvia clearly breaks a trend. I am not sure how vaccinated people is calculated, since many people hold non-citizen status.

Sometimes correlation is causation...
