Does cancer #evolution & intra-tumour heterogeneity predict long-term relapse? We tested the evolutionary paradigm in prostate cancer clinical trials with long follow-up, combining genomics with digital histopathology: nature.com/articles/s4301โ€ฆ

New paper hot off the online press :) Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (now renamed #MAFLD) is on the rise, and can cause liver cancer. We know that switching to a healthier diet ๐Ÿซ˜๐Ÿฅฆcan lower risk of MAFLD, but can it also lower risk of liver cancer?

Our paper on the amylase locus is out in Nature (doi.org/10.1038/s41586โ€ฆ)! Working with this team was incredibly fun! We developed a computational framework (cosigt) to infer the haplotype composition of short read samples leveraging the pangenome graph. 1/n

Excited to see this work out! A major study co-led with Dr Rachel Denholm and started while I was University of Bristol, made possible by BHFDataScience and brilliant collaborators (see paper). ๐Ÿงตhere : x.com/VikiLovesFACS/โ€ฆ

Very important work led by Dr Luisa Zuccolo on covid vaccination before pregnancy. Hopefully it will help convince vaccine skeptics on their usefulness.

Utterly obsessed with this UCL researcher who won an Ig Nobel for showing that โ€œBlue Zonesโ€ where people supposedly live well past 100 at unusual rates are actually just full of clerical errors and people committing pension fraud ucl.ac.uk/ioe/news/2024/โ€ฆ

Towards the end of the first day of the meeting, but still lots to learn: Nicole Soranzo discussing the importance of analyzing single cel genomics at population level. Human Technopole #HCA2024GM

NEW: we may have passed peak obesity ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ“‰๐Ÿ™ In what might be one of the most significant trends I have ever charted, the US obesity rate fell last year.
