🔥😀Super-super excited to report the publication of "Single-cell multi-omic and spatial profiling of human kidneys implicates the fibrotic microenvironment in kidney disease progression" in Nature Genetics rdcu.be/dONoW by Amin Abedini and Jon Levinsohn #kidney

Thrilled to see our 2020 Nature Genetics study on the #GWASDiversityMonitor, which tracks diversity by disease in real-time, cited nearly 150 times! 🤩 Check out its latest citation in Science Magazine ➡️ doi.org/10.1126/scienc… Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science Melinda Mills The Leverhulme Trust

1/ Excited to share this preprint from all-star Sarnoff Foundation fellow Sarah Abramowitz, studying population- and individual-level performance of coronary artery disease polygenic risk scores, co-mentored with Scott Damrauer.

In a preprint from the 23andMe Research team, we used Mendelian randomization to explore the genetically-predicted causal effects of Lp(a) on a range (n=489) of human traits and diseases. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
