So SO excited to share that our latest work—most of my PhD(!)—is now published in Science Magazine ! 🎉🐶 Our study on #Labradors reveals key #genetics behind #obesity, with insights for both dogs & humans. Huge thanks to our collaborators & the amazing dogs + owners! 🦮

🐶🧬 Et si les labradors nous aidaient à comprendre l’#obésité ? Le Pr Philippe Froguel et son équipe ont identifié un #gène clé en les étudiant. Une découverte aux perspectives prometteuses ! 🔎 📖 À lire dans le journal Le Parisien leparisien.fr/sciences/labra…

It was a really great week for human genetics, multiomics, and precision medicine. Some interesting reads and incredible resources🧵 1⃣From a GWAS in dogs to the discovery of a new obesity target in humans! Variants in DENND1B were the strongest GWAS signal for obesity in 241

A study published in Science Magazine (co-authored by Girton Fellow Dr John Tadross) reports the discovery of new genes linked to obesity in dogs and humans. Read more ⬇️ eastgenomics.nhs.uk/about-us/news-…

We are hosting the 🇬🇧 UK Neural Computation Conference 2025 at Imperial College London, 9th - 11th July 🚀 We are bringing together some of world's leading UK scientists working at the intersection of computational neuroscience, AI & applications. Abstract submissions are now open!

RFK Jr. said his Make America Healthy Again report cites "gold-standard" science." It cites 500 studies and other sources. But it is riddled with errors. And 7 of the cited sources don’t appear to exist at all. (via NOTUS)
