All set to show some new findings at #WCPG2022 today comparing schizophrenia in UK Biobank to other cohorts. Would love to see you if you’re here! You’ll find me at W111.

Many congrats to my amazing supervisor Antonio F. Pardiñas on the Gershon paper of the year for the PGC3 SCZ GWAS! 🥳🥳🥳 ISPG #WCPG2022 extra points for sneaking into the conference just in time for his award!

It's the last day of #WCPG2022, if you're still around and interested in schizophrenia come by the SCZ II session this afternoon where I'll be talking about how rare variants affect clozapine metabolism Antonio F. Pardiñas #pharmacogenomics

Bit of a Cardiff takeover this afternoon at #WCPG2022 with stellar presentations from Djenifer Kappel 🧬(she/her) 🇧🇷 talking about our Academy of Medical Sciences Springboard project (#ProudPI), as well as Jessica Mei Kay Yang, James Walters (on behalf of Sophie Chick), and Eilidh (not pictured).
