We can use #deeplearning to learn from our #genomes and predict personal risk of #disease! New method and framework called EIR led by amazing @Arnor_Sig ! doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk…

Developed and built by Arnor Sigurdsson from the group, EIR helps researchers work with real-world health data at scale. 📦 github.com/arnor-sigurdss… 📖 eir.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

🚨 Cool news! Our EIR framework for modeling multi-modal biomedical data has been featured in the first blog post from the new @PyTorch Ecosystem WG! 🔗 pytorch.org/blog/introduci… #PyTorch #EHR #Genomics #AI4Health #OpenSource #FoundationModels

We have 2-3 group leader positions opening up @FIMM_UH !! We are looking for outstanding candidates in human genetics and precision medicine. This time we have a particular focus on population health data science. E.g. AI for EHR/health data jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsinki-F…

We are looking for a post-doc/research fellow working on non-bullshit, reality-centered AI. Meaning: unique nationwide EHR and -omics with the possibility to recontact people and prospectively test multimodal AI approaches. jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsinki-R… @FIMM_UH @FinnGen_FI

25/ And much more, have a look at the paper and thanks to all contributors and co-authors! @MichaelBenros Thorfinn Korneliussen, Lasse Danielsen, Martin Sikora, Morten Allentoft, Eske Willerslev

24/ In summary: ✅ CCR5delta32 arose once, >6,700 years ago ✅ It spread via Bronze Age demographic expansions ✅ Underwent strong positive selection ✅ Is now a globally relevant variant in medicine All from an ancient immunogenetic adaptation.

1/ Out now in Cell: Our new study uncovers the ancient origins of a genetic mutation that protects against HIV — and rewrites the story of its surprising high frequency in Europe. Link: doi.org/10.1016/j.cell…
