Our pre-print describing the @uk_biobank Pharma Proteomics Project (UKB-PPP) is now online!
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
We identify 10k genetic associations w/ protein concentrations; 85% are new.
The data should help drive discovery of new biomarkers, diagnostics & medicines.

Wow, what an powerful message! I don’t have many Russian colleagues or friends but the more this is spread the more chance it will have to reach the Russian people and soldiers.

In this article I describe some of the scenarios in which epigenetic testing may have clinical utility and consider some of the challenges that must be overcome for epigenetic testing to become more mainstream in genetic pathology #genetic #pathology #epigenetics #clinical

Very happy to finally see our work on DNA mismatch repair deficiency out in print. We showed that MSH2/MSH6 ≠ MLH1/PMS2 loss when it comes to mutational signatures in cancer patients. @ScienceAdvances science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Beware survivorship bias. For objective careers advice, talk to those who left science or academia as well as those who stayed. Great advice for mentors and mentees in a new Nature opinion piece nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
