Back after lunch at #respiratorygenomics2023 and Michael Cho gives us a roadmap for moving from genetic association to function.

All about airway epithelium at #respiratorygenomics2023: Gerard Koppelman implicating hillock cells in a potential novel mechanism for childhood asthma pathogenesis, and Rob Hall on differential transcriptomic responses to acute vs chronic household cook stove smoke exposure.

Day 2 at #respiratorygenomics: Martijn Nawijn showcases development of Human Lung Cell Atlas Human Cell Atlas & the analytical and computational challenges overcome. Identifying shared cell states has highlighted therapeutic targets with potential for multiple diseases.

Two great talks show value of longitudinal cohorts at #respiratorygenomics2023! John G Holloway on differential gene expression by in utero smoke exposure in IoW Birth Cohort & Maaike de Vries on epigenetic clocks and links between smoking/accelerated ageing/COPD in Lifelines.
