Very excited to have our study, the largest ever genetic investigation of circulating retinol now online at Nature Communications. We found evidence for novel biology and use these data to refine our understanding of retinol/retinoids on human health. 1/2 nature.com/articles/s4146…

A paper that made a tremendous impact on both the academic and industry human geneticists, that was often cited as a key piece of reference in genetics start-up pitches to investors, that was instrumental behind some big investment decisions was published in Nature Genetics in 2015

Snippets from the past--a Sunday read: I recently revisited this gem of a paper (nature.com/articles/ng1509) from Jonathan Cohen, Helen Hobbs and team, who first found that loss of function variants in PCSK9 reduce blood cholesterol, based on a prior work by Catherine Boileau and
