It is so great and refreshing to see so many young and promising scientists announce that they have received the @ERC_Research starting grant. Brings back good memories 🙂 and importantly highlights that the future of science is in good hands. Congratulations everyone!!
One of the most impactful papers from my academic lab, and probably the last great one, bringing together principles and knowledge obtained over many years to dissect disease mechanisms! Congrats to @anavinuela@arnsbr and @DIRECTdiabetes
Just heard that Masatoshi Nei passed away. What a personality! I have learned so much from him even when I disagreed with him. The IMEG seminars he organized at Penn State were legendary and I am honored to have been there with so many dear colleagues. RIP Dr Nei
One of my favorite "things I was wrong about": When I served on @dermitzakis 's PhD committee, I thought variation in gene expression among individuals was just noise in the measurements. Manolis thought they were genetically determined. He was right!. Now you have eQTLs!!
Congratulations to Manolis Dermitzakis @dermitzakis for his Outstanding Science Alumni Award from @PSUScience. He got his Ph.D. here with Andy Clark, with some of the earliest description of variation in gene expression among individuals. Pic with Manolis and Steve Schaeffer.
My new colleague Meg Ehm @gsk talks about our strong partnerships in genetics and genomics. Thanks to @FoGenomics for the opportunity to present our integrated strategy in genetics, comp bio and genomics today!
Our scientists & partners are working to better understand what causes disease and how to explore human biology to develop medicines of the future. Don’t miss GSK scientists & our partners discuss these advances at @FoGenomics@broadinstitute@UniofOxford@UCL@sangerinstitute
Where do the world’s best and brightest share the latest in genomics? @FoGenomics! We’re excited to have GSK scientists and some of our partners shine a light on how we’re tapping genomics to create medicines of the future #FoG2022
