Great to have the chance to present the exciting epigenetics part of our @NIH funded project into mechanisms of #ADpsychosis from our collaboration with @PittTweet @EPishva @byron_creese
Great talk in the final session of the day at #ADPD2023 from the boss of @Dementia_Omics , @katielunnon on psychosis in AD. Amazing to listen to as always

Proud to announce the release the @WUADRC GWAS dataset that includes 4,500 #AlzheimersDisease cases, controls and other dementias, on @niagads dss.niagads.org/datasets/ng0…. We have also generated multi-tissue multi-omic data (niagads.org/knight-adrc-coll…) for this dataset.

I have been considering this for quite a while, but now it is definitely happening: I will start up an R User Group at Maastricht University (RUG@UM) in 2023! More details (including the schedule) here: wviechtb.github.io/r-user-gr… #rstats #unimaas #maastrichtuniversity #rugum
