🚨PhD opportunity!!🚨 Come to do a PhD with me @kcrawlik and @kennethbaillie! We will be looking at shared genetic signals between seemingly distant diseases to find drug repurposing oportunities! 🧬🧬More info: @FindAPhD findaphd.com/phds/projectdet…

🚨New preprint from @anavillave 🚨 Collaborating with GoDARTS and CLSA we looked at proteins related to loss of vascular complexity in our 👀. And we found inflammageing markers!🙀 This opens new routes for prevention of aging diseases @MariePigeyre

Apply to join this amazing group! 🙌🧬
I always say jobs in my lab are great opportunities but this one really is. The last incumbent published 3 1st-author @Nature papers, found a treatment for Covid, and now has a senior job in pharma.
Quantitative geneticists - please consider joining us!

SURVEY ALERT!! Are you generating lists of effector/causal genes based on GWAS? Interested in using other’s lists? Hampered by lack of standards & infrastructure? Together with @KPortalNetwork we want your input to a new standard: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F… #gwas #genomics #FAIRdata

This April I will be running the @LLHalf in memory of my nephew Guifré and in support of the work that @tommys does for those who suffered baby loss.
If you are interested on contributing, here is my fundraising page! llhm.tommys.org/fundraising/…

GWAS and meta-analysis identifies 49 genetic
variants (16 new) underlying critical COVID-19, including potentially druggable targets in JAK1, PDE4A, SLC2A5, AK5, TMPRSS2, RAB2A. @kennethbaillie @erolaPC @kcrawlik

Why do some people develop severe COVID-19 while others experience no symptoms at all? Which genes are associated with severe COVID-19? In our new paper, we analyse 24,202 cases of COVID-19 with critical illness: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Are your 👁️👁️ a window to your 💜?
Let's answer this question using the main findings of this cool study hehe 😎: nature.com/articles/s42003-0…

Delighted to share biggest paper yet from GenOMICC study. Our first report found 5 genes underlying critical covid, one of which pointed to an effective new treatment (baricitinib). Now we report 49 genes & multiple new drug options

🆕 @Nature
We use rudimentary clinical risk factors for who may develop critical Covid, such as age. But now there are 49 genomic loci that associate with increased risk, help to elucidate biology, no less possible treatments

El problema del acoso laboral más común (en mi experiencia) es que es menos mediático: no se trata de un solo evento horrible que te haya pasado. Son las microagresiones constantes que, por su efecto acumulativo, acaban minando a los/as investigadores/as junior.
