Huge congrats to Netherlands Twin Register's Dorret Boomsma and @QIMRBerghofer's Nick Martin for winning the Ming Tsuang Lifetime Achievement Award at the upcoming #WCPG2022. 🥳🎉 Much deserved, and looking forward to seeing everyone in Florence. #award VU Faculteit der Gedrags- & Bewegingswetenschappen Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (inactief)

Be sure to check out Floris Huider's poster on the BIONIC project, a uniform population-wide approach to the #genetics of #depression in the Netherlands. #WCPG2022 Session: Poster Session 1, nr W46 Wed 11:45 - 13:15, Spadolini Pav Hall A

Slow travel to Florence was definitely worth it; visiting Zurich and Milan, meeting old friends, stress-free enjoyment of the landscape, etc. 🚅 And now we are ready for #WCPG2022 🙌 – with Floris Huider

Successful poster session! Posters by Floris Huider Fiona Hagenbeek Anne Landvreugd

Looking forward to present with Floris Huider the #BIONIC project, a new overarching infrastructure emerged from the collaboration of 13 Dutch cohort studies with data on #depression and #genetics #GWAS.

Fantastic to be in #Amsterdam hosted by Netherlands Twin Register to talk about #depression #genetics collaborations with lovely talks by Nick Martin, Brittany Mitchell Gerome Breen Rujia Wang @Ygoes2B_more Floris Huider. And the sun is shining!

Out now! The profile article of our BIObanks Netherlands Internet Collaboration (#BIONIC) project, a #GWAS dataset of >66,000 🇳🇱 subjects to study the genetic base of #Depression. Big shoutout to Floris Huider for his great work on the data and the paper: bit.ly/3vgIH6u

New pre-print from the PGC Consortium #Depression Group: Multi-ancestry GWAS of depression with 685,000 cases identifies 697 independent associations, implicating known & novel drug targets. 🔗 medrxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n

My latest PhD Project is now up on medRxiv: medrxiv.org/content/10.110… ! Here, we looked at the association between antidepressant exposure and DNA methylation🧬in 16,536 individuals in Generation Scotland. A 🧵 of our main findings:

It's not every day you get to attend a Nobel laureate's talk. Happy to start of #eshg2024 in beautiful Berlin!

I'll be presenting our work on the #genomics of #depression in the Netherlands (#BIONIC). In our uniform phenotyping approach to GWAS we explain 17.5% of liability variance in MDD. If you're at #eshg2024, come say hi! June 2nd 13:00-14:00, poster hall, P11.046.A #PhD #genetics

At #eshg2024? Be sure to meet Floris Huider at his poster presenting the #BIONIC project cambridge.org/core/journals/…

The complex basis of depression requires large population-wide studies w/ in-depth phenotyping. The BIObanks Netherlands Internet Collaboration (BIONIC) Project was established to study lifetime major depressive disorder (MDD) across 13 Dutch cohorts. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Really lovely reuniting with our previous QIMR Berghofer visiting students at #BGA2024! Wonderful to see all the fantastic research they are doing

Honored and grateful to have received the Rising Star Award at #bga2024. A huge thank you to the organizers for a wonderful week of science and my colleagues and supervisors for their unwavering support.

ICYM 📢#bga2024: Natalia presented her amazing work on the association between #metabolites and #wellbeing, finding suggestive evidence for the endogenous lipid metabolism pathway while also underscoring the complex biology of wellbeing. Read on: osf.io/4s2mu/
