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…

A paper that made a tremendous impact on both the academic and industry human geneticists, that was often cited as a key piece of reference in genetics start-up pitches to investors, that was instrumental behind some big investment decisions was published in Nature Genetics in 2015

Snippets from the past--a Sunday read: I recently revisited this gem of a paper (nature.com/articles/ng1509) from Jonathan Cohen, Helen Hobbs and team, who first found that loss of function variants in PCSK9 reduce blood cholesterol, based on a prior work by Catherine Boileau and

Glad to have played a small role in this interesting new study on genetic influences on head size. Interesting evidence to support genes involved in early cranial growth enriched for cancer related processes in later life. cell.com/cell-reports-m…

Hot off the press🎉Two studies from Oxford Population Health (OxPop) published in Nature Communications have identified new links between blood proteins and different types of cancer. Read the papers: nature.com/articles/s4146… nature.com/articles/s4146… #CRUKFunded

Not sure what's the causal gene at your favorite GWAS locus? Ask ChatGPT :) Interesting preprint on the value of LLMs in causal gene prediction by 23andme scientists (Suyash Shringarpure et al.) "Here, we demonstrate that large language models (LLMs) can accurately identify genes likely

Come do a PhD with me at Menzies Institute for Medical Research looking at the clinical implications of how genomics influences nutrient biology and diet response. Hobart is a great place to live with both beautiful beaches and alpine regions at your doorstep. See info here - utas.edu.au/research/degre…

I’m thrilled to share that our work from the VA Research is finally out in Science Magazine ! We dive deep into the genetic architecture of 2,068 traits using data from the VA Million Veteran Program, comprising 635,969 Veteran. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to be part of a symposium at this years Biological Psychiatry Australia conference on therapeutic interventions in psychiatric disorders! Thanks @BPanizzutti for organising.

Wow: the first new FDA-approved treatment for schizophrenia in many, many years. The discovery story is also long and remarkable, and the NYT story touches on it. 1/ nytimes.com/2024/09/26/hea…

Really enjoyed participating in this great event!! Thanks to NSW CVRN rising stars sub-committee for organising. Stoked to have won the EMCR category. The quality of the pitches from all participants was outstanding!
