I'm hiring a computational biologist interested in complex trait genetics using deep learning approaches. Reach out to me, if interested.

I'm often asked how human genetic data can be used to validate drug targets.

In our new ‪@natcardiovascres.nature.com‬ paper, we provide an end-to-end framework for genetically validating IL-6 inhibition for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease outcomes 🧵

It was awesome to see the range of molecular & genetic epidemiology research being done in our department! Thank you @martinafu.bsky.social @danielpanyard.bsky.social and Javier Perez Garcia for making our Flash Talks a success 🤩

"Dark proteins." Also known as microproteins. There are thousands of them in our cells and we're still struggling to define their function. Succinctly reviewed @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...

What do GWAS and rare variant burden tests discover, and why?

Do these studies find the most IMPORTANT genes? If not, how DO they rank genes?

Here we present a surprising result: these studies actually test for SPECIFICITY! A 🧵on what this means... (🧪🧬)

Feel free to message me if you'd like to hear more! I've been a committee member for four years now. It's a great group!

Dear early career genetic epidemiologists:

The IGES Young Investigator Committee is looking for new members! It's a fun group, low time commitment, and great way to network with peers while supporting trainees around the world.

Apply here by Dec 31st:
