BHF Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit at Cambridge
@CAMBRIDGE_CEU
The @TheBHF CEU is an internationally-renowned centre of excellence for the study of the causes and prevention of cardiovascular disease.
Getting Type 2 diabetes early can reduce your life expectancy as much as 14 years. From CEU researchers Stephen Kaptoge @Di_Angelantonio , and Naveed Sattar @UofGlasgow tinyurl.com/2bdssh9v. Thanks to @The_MRC, @TheBHF , @CambridgeBRC, @HDR_UK. @IMS_MRL for info.
An individual diagnosed with #type2diabetes at age 30 could see their life expectancy fall by as much as 14 years, say researchers. The findings highlight the importance of delaying - or preventing - onset of the disease. @HLRI_Cambridge @Cambridgecardio bit.ly/3ZFU0jf
Excited to share our latent factor approach for high-dimensional trait #GWAS + #finemapping out in @CellGenomics doi.org/10.1016/j.xgen… Uses summary-level data. Software: github.com/jennasimit/fla… @FZ_Cambridge @WilliamAstle @aidanbutty @MRC_BSU @CAMBRIDGE_CEU
Improved genetic discovery and fine-mapping resolution through multivariate latent factor analysis of high-dimensional traits dlvr.it/TK6f0Z
Congratulations to Martin Kelemen @aidanbutty & Mike Inouye who had their paper featured on the Nature Communications Editors’ Highlights webpage AI doesn't always live up to the hype — for polygenic scores regression-based methods remain undefeated nature.com/ncomms/editors…
Millions of people worldwide 🌍 are chronically exposed to environmental arsenic. In this new 📄, we explore whether associations between environmental arsenic & risk of adverse cardiometabolic 🫀outcomes change in the presence of common genetic 🧬 variations. ⬇️
Can deep-learning be used for polygenic risk scores? New paper out in @NatureComms! To find out more read here: nature.com/articles/s4146…
PPI Showcase! Thursday 12th June! Afternoon talks highlighting the best of local PPI include: How PPIE can get you over the starting line @Cambridge_Uni Prostate cancer: diet & gut health @CUH_NHS @AngliaRuskin @CAMBRIDGE_CEU @NIHRBioResource @MRC_Epid @CamNeuro @OTR_Cambridge
We recently welcomed @alex_moerseburg to the CEU! In his previous work with @IMS_MRL & @MRC_Epid he built a protein-based “aging clock” using data from 44k+ people Having #type2diabetes & higher #BMI were associated with faster biological aging 👉 nature.com/articles/s4151…
Regional PPE Showcase Week has started! Come & meet our public involvement teams until 2pm today at @RoyalPapworth & discover ways to help shape health research! Info on full programme 👉bit.ly/4kbJzxz @CUH_NHS @Cambridge_Uni @CRUKCamCentre @AngliaRuskin @CAMBRIDGE_CEU
We look forward to attending the @CambridgeBRC PPI showcase this Thursday! We will be talking through everything we have done to set up our new Multiple Long Term Health Conditions PPI panel

An important population study for new clues for heart attack and stroke for @CAMBRIDGE_CEU Spencer and Emanuele @Di_Angelantonio and their collaborators.
Well done to Spencer Keene and colleagues! Their study shows higher blood troponin levels link to greater risk of heart attack/stroke. Testing could prevent 1 event for every 500 people at intermediate risk 🫀

Following an article from @TheBHF about the £5 blood test that improves risk prediction for heart attacks and strokes, we caught up with the lead analysis behind the idea. @CAMBRIDGE_CEU @Cambridge_Uni
A new publication in @JACCJournals by Spencer Keene, @Di_Angelantonio & colleagues! Their study shows higher blood troponin levels link to greater risk of heart attack/stroke. Testing could prevent 1 event for every 500 people at intermediate risk 🔗tinyurl.com/4hv3c4fp
We've had a great time being part of the 2025 #CamFest! Here are some photos showing some of the fun we have had!
Looking forward to the #camfest Family Weekend! Have you ever wondered why some diseases often show up together in the same person? It’s not just by chance! Come and play our card game to find out more! Click here for more details about the event tinyurl.com/29ytmy5u
