It's been a while now, but @DrFlashHeart and I are excited to share that our work exploring somatic gene x environment interactions between CHIP and air pollution in lung cancer is now published in @JNCI_Now doi.org/10.1093/jnci/djag159
Air pollution is a recently recognized driver of lung cancer among never-smokers. In a new preprint, we show that clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) and PM2.5 form a novel gene × environment interaction promoting NSCLC tumorigenesis. medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

✨ Thrilled to share our new publication in Nature. We define an “inflammatory memory” HSC state (HSC‑iM), linking lifelong inflammatory exposure to aging and disease. 📄 Article: nature.com/articles/s41586-0… Grateful to an incredible team and global collaborators 💚💙

New preprint out! We asked: can we tell which CHIP mutations actually matter for disease risk? Analyzing >1 million individuals across @ukbiobank, @AllofUsResearch, and @VUMChealth BioVU — here's what we found. 🧵 (1/9)

@rheumrob,@AlexBickMDPhD, & I are excited to share that our work is now out in @jclinicalinvest! CHIP epi studies underestimate the association between CHIP & disease using WGS vs deep sequencing. Many thanks to the co-authors, participants, & reviewers! doi.org/10.1172/JCI198861

Using a unique cohort of 10k doubly sequenced people in @VUMCDiscoveries's BioVU, @AlexBickMDPhD, @yash_pershad, and I investigated how well #WGS data really works for detecting #CHIP. medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. Thread below! 1/n

📢 Online today: Ancestry-dependent patterns of somatic mosaicism and clonal hematopoiesis mutations in over 125,000 individuals reveal distinct cancer associations rdcu.be/eSROU. A huge feat with pretty figures, driven by #ChristelleColinLeitzinger. 👏

🚨🚨 Our new manuscript is now available online! Co-led with the awesome @mingxiangteng Peripheral blood somatic mosaicism and clonal hematopoiesis across ancestry backgrounds medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Happy to share that our work on TET2 CH in ICI therapy is now out in @CR_AACR! We found that TET2 mutations promote myeloid co-stimulatory programs and suppress T cell exhaustion, contributing to improved immunotherapy response! 🔗Read more here: doi.org/10.1158/0008-5472.CA…

CHIP variants are often discovered incidentally in liquid biopsy testing, but is plasma cell-free DNA reliable when CHIP variants are the desired finding? 🩸@BloodAdvances @AlexBickMDPhD 🧵1/12
