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…


Excited to see our GWAS meta-analysis of NMR metabolic biomarkers in 136,000 participants from 33 datasets out in Nature nature.com/articles/s4158… after years of work by many people, esp. Savita Karthikeyan Clare Oliver-Williams Elias Allara Prof M Ala-Korpela Johannes Kettunen & Minna Karjalainen

Come work with us at PREDICT IBD! Kristine Allin and I are looking for a PhD student to combine the incredible Danish healthcare registry data with genomics. Great collaborators in UK, US, Nordics. Lovely industrial partners. It's time to personalise IBD care. 1/3


Congratulations to my student Teng Hiang on her first PhD preprint! It's about recessive associations in @GenesHealth , a cohort of >40k British South Asians. See her thread for an account and the paper here medrxiv.org/content/10.110….

Two Postdoc positions in my lab Human Technopole! Please RT! We have an Open Targets project in collaboration with Gosia Trynka lab. An ambitious project, with industry partnership to comprehensively understand regulators of B cell activation using CRISPR screens.

Recently out on #bioRxiv: our updated approach to identify regional variability in missense mutation intolerance (“constraint”) in protein-coding genes using the gnomAD database (Genome Aggregation Database). 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our #sepsis #eqtl paper is now published! Thank you Cell Genomics and our reviewers for a swift and smooth publication process cell.com/cell-genomics/…


Answers to the puzzle of aging lie partly in our telomeres. Out yesterday in Nature Genetics, the latest study led by AstraZeneca's Centre for Genomics Research used UK Biobank #genomics data to ask why some people have longer telomeres than others. nature.com/articles/s4158… 🧵


Interested in B cell biology, immunogenomics and autoimmunity? We are looking for an enthusiastic postdoc in my lab Human Technopole. Join us for a 4 years fully funded postdoc position. Outstanding scientific environment and infrastructure! Apply until 14 October 2024!


#ASHG2024 folks, check out the presentations from the Center for Genomics Research AstraZeneca.

Check this cool work done by Craig Glastonbury and colleagues using UK Biobank #MRI and #MachineLearning on #heart function #Genetics!
