As of March 2025, we will no longer be actively posting on X. We’ll continue to monitor our account so we can respond to DMs and urgent communications.
🎄Our Festive Jumper Day is here! 🧑🎄 Today we're wearing festive knits to support @SBFamiliesProj, helping local families in Hammersmith & Fulham. LMS partners with local organisations to support our Hammersmith & Fulham community
Great to bump into my old chum Matthew Freeman of the @Dunn_School in that powerhouse of medical science, the @MRC_LMS!
Amazing work from @DrDeclanORegan and @KathrynMcGurk!! 🫀
Research | The inner heart surface has a meshwork of muscles called trabeculae. McGurk et al. report the genetic regulation of heart trabeculae across common and rare variants, revealing pathways implicated in heart development and cell fate. 👉 rdcu.be/d09Jt
The heart condition dilated cardiomyopathy can be caused by the cumulative influence of hundreds or thousands of genes and not just by a single “aberrant” genetic variant, finds a new study co-led by Dr @tomlumbers @UCL_IHI with @imperialcollege @MRC_LMS ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/nov/…
🧬 Out today - our DCM GWAS in @NatureGenet 📍nature.com/articles/s4158… All made possible with friends and collaborators from @HERMESgenetics @AH_AlbertHenry @tomlumbers @drjamesware @MRC_LMS @BHFCoREImperial @ImperialNHLI See 🧵 for the cool science
Delighted to share our dilated cardiomyopathy GWAS from HERMES Consortium as a preprint. A massive team effort involving >1.2m participants from 16 studies, and 100+ colleagues. @AlbertHenry @TomLumbers @JamesWare doi.org/10.1101/2023.0… 🧵below 1/5
Amazing to see our research getting picked up!
UK study shows that dilated #cardiomyopathy can be caused by the cumulative influence of hundreds or thousands of genes, not just by a single faulty gene 🧬 news-medical.net/news/20241121/… #DCM
