SVs & complex trait genetics 🧬 | Postdoc @CGM_MGH & @broadinstitute with M. Talkowski | PhD @unil with Z. Kutalik & A. Reymond |🇧🇪🇨🇭| ⛵️🥾🌱👩🏻🍳
The last chapter of my PhD is out as a paper combo in @AJHGNews! 🤩 Through a literature review & original study we explore the #pleiotropy of 16p11.2 BP4-5 #CNVs. 🕵🏻♀️ 🧬 #RareDisease #Genomics
New year new start! My group has moved to @ETH_BSSE in @ETH_en - very excited to work with new colleagues here! We’re also hiring soon, if interested in a PhD/postdoc in quantitative genetics and genomics, esp with focus in psych disorders, pls get in touch!
.@AJHGNews sat with Alexandre Reymond, PhD, in the latest "Inside AJHG" to discuss his recently published paper, “Disentangling mechanisms behind the pleiotropic effects of proximal 16p11.2 BP4-5 CNVs.” ➡️ashg.org/ajhg/inside-aj… #ASHG #GeneticsDiscoveries #HumanGenetics
Thrilled to be presenting at the Pharmacogenomics session at #ASHG24 today at 11am! Stop by if you're curious about exploring causal relationships between drugs, diseases, and proteins. See you there!
Save the date: European Mathematical Genetics Meeting (EMGM) 2025, 8-9 April, Brest, France
Don't miss the latest @AJHGNews Review by @CAuwerx, @zkutalik & @AlexReymondESHG that explores the phenotypic spectrum of 16p11.2 CNVs & outlines future directions to improve diagnosis & clinical management. 🔗 Read the full article here: cell.com/ajhg/fulltext/… #ASHG

Call for PhD in quantitative Biology!! Applications open ... unil.ch/quantitative-b… #PhD #computationbiology #quantititivebiology
This week, I successfully defended my #PhD in front of my committee! 🎉👩🏻🎓 Thanks to all for the wonderful day and exciting discussions! Looking back, the last 4 years have been an amazing journey that I was fortunate to share with so many incredible people @unil and beyond! 💫

What is the impact of lifestyle factors on telomere length? And what in turn is the impact of telomere length on diseases? Have a look at this very comprehensive #MendelianRandomization study by @SamuelMoix which sheds light on these questions 🧬📊
Thrilled to share my first paper as first author on telomere biology, now published in @GenomeBiology: rdcu.be/dIhVs Following reviewer feedback, the manuscript now includes extensive sensitivity analyses and replication with independent telomere length data 🧬
Nice work by our QB scholar @SamuelMoix
Thrilled to share my first paper as first author on telomere biology, now published in @GenomeBiology: rdcu.be/dIhVs Following reviewer feedback, the manuscript now includes extensive sensitivity analyses and replication with independent telomere length data 🧬
What are the causes and consequences of changes in #telomere length? 🧬 Find out more in our comprehensive study led by @SamuelMoix now out in @GenomeBiology! 👇🏻 One of my favorite findings: an intriguing link between female reproductive events and telomere length! 💁🏻♀️
