These new insights, uncovered alongside brent richards’ Lab at McGill University, have the potential to inform the development of new therapeutics, further showing the benefit of industry-academia collaboration. Read the full study in Nature Genetics: go.nature.com/3r1A39Y

Congrats Dr. Yann Ilboudo for a successful PhD defense. Thanks to Yohan Bossé (missing from pict), Martin Sauvageau , Martin Smith and Sarah Gagliano for their comments during the exam. Université de Montréal ICMtl

CARTaGENE est fière de vous annoncer que les données de séquençage pangénomique (n=2184) issues du projet GenoRefQ, mené par Simon Gravel et Guillaume Lettre et financé par Génome Québec Genome Canada, sont disponibles pour la recherche. Demandez accès: bit.ly/46CPxQJ.

CARTaGENE is proud to announce that genome-wide sequencing data (n=2184) from the GenoRefQ project (led by Simon Gravel and Guillaume Lettre and funded by Génome Québec Genome Canada) is available for research. To request access: bit.ly/46DKOhW.

An amazing discovery by Guillaume Lettre (and others) in 2008 has now led to the world's first CRISPR medicine by Vertex Pharmaceuticals We'll score that as a win for human genetics and humans in general. pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…

A remarkable story: from GWAS discovery to new therapeutics

Join us in Exeter next April 17-19 for a diabetes and obesity genetics conference. A great set of speakers will be talking about gene discovery, variant to function, genetic risk scores, clinical translation, and much more. See the program: tinyurl.com/7np6n5x7 #ExeterSGGD24

Last week I received the title of Doctor in bioinformatics🎓, the pinnacle of an 8-year academic journey. It was a day filled with memorable moments and profound emotions. I want to extend thanks to everyone who has supported me throughout these years!

Congratulations to HMS physician-scientist Stuart Orkin, who has been named to TIME’s 2024 list of the 100 most influential people in the world! Orkin’s research has led to the first gene therapy using CRISPR to treat sickle cell disease. #TIME100 time.com/6964969/stuart…

We are very happy to see that our manuscript, 'Joint Genotypic and Phenotypic Outcome Modeling Improves Base Editing Variant Effect Quantification,' is now published in Nature Genetics . Congratulations Jayoung Ryu
