A recent Nature Communications paper by Ido Nofech-Mozes, Dr. David Soave, Dr. Philip Awadalla (Awadalla Lab) and Dr. Sagi Abelson has been selected as an Editors' Highlight. 👏 nature.com/articles/s4146…
Huge congratulations to Dr. Kimberly Skead who passed her viva for her fantastic dissertation “Predicting health outcomes from hematopoietic evolution”!! Thanks to our external examiner Jamie Blundell, and Michael Wilson Stephen I. Wright Federico Gaiti and Lucy Osborne!
📢 Our COVID-19 Antibody Study found that 53% of the #COVID19 diagnoses were among those who neither knew, nor suspected, they had been infected! Check out Dr. Victoria Kirsh’s findings in her CanPath webinar. Awadalla Lab Kimberly Skead buff.ly/3XsVlc6
The Next Generation: Nick Cheng, PhD candidate in Awadalla Lab, is using OHS & CanPath data to look for #biomarkers in the blood that could be used to detect breast, prostate and pancreatic cancers several years before a traditional diagnosis. buff.ly/3NGEm1J
Working with Awadalla Lab at OICR helped University of Toronto PhD candidate Tom Ouellette turn an interest in computational biology into a passion for #research that impacts #cancer patients See what Tom's working on in our latest The Next Generation video📽️
🔬🦠Boosting Immunity Insights: New research led by COVID-19 Immunity Task Force, with contributions from CanPath, reveals Canada's evolving immunity landscape in the first pan-Canadian seroprevalence study! 🔗 canpath.ca/2023/08/covid-…
Panel Discussion: Chairs Heidi Rehm & @PersonalizedMed lead a discussion at @AGBT Precision Health 2023 with polls on the great debate, genetics, environment & health with Gary W Miller from Columbia University, Awadalla Lab from CanPath & Alison Motsinger-Reif from @NIEHS #AGBTPH
OHS participant Matt asks: How does our blood change as we age? Find out from cancer researcher Dr. Kimberly Skead how our blood acts as an early messenger of emerging health issues, and why platforms like the OHS are important to the early detection of cancer & chronic disease.
Congratulations, Nancy J Cox! From Scientific Director Awadalla Lab, "Nancy has been an instrumental advisor on CanPath's Int'l Scientific Advisory Board. Her impact as a researcher and leadership as a geneticist have been a cornerstone to CanPath's success on a global scale."
Registration for the next CanPath trainee research webinar is live! Join Michelle Harwood and Umaimah Zanif as they showcase how CanPath data can be used to explore how age, lifestyle factors, and the environment affect gene and biomarker expression. bit.ly/CanPathTrainee…
