It has been a pleasure to have worked on this and see it online in @NatureMedicine. Wonderful collaboration and a group of minds to work with. @uk_biobank #proteomics #research #COVID_19 #Alzheimers nature.com/articles/s4159…

💡Daskalakis & Ressler labs @McLeanHospital @harvardmed are extremely excited & proud 🥳to share that our collaborative work with Nemeroff @UTAustin and Kleinman @LieberInstitute labs on molecular underpinnings of #PTSD & #MDD is out @ScienceMagazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…! 🧵👇

We are #hiring for scientist/senior sci - calling for computational scientists with biobank data expertise/experience developing/applying novel human #genetics methods / physician-scientists interested in combining clinical phenotypes with large omics! jobs.bms.com/careers/job/13…

Blood biomarkers in middle-aged people suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with greater brain β-amyloid plaque accumulation. The findings published in @NatureMedicine suggest that SARS-CoV-2 may increase the risk of future Alzheimer’s disease. go.nature.com/3CzmbJM

Plasma protein and brain structural imaging evidence that #SARSCoV2 is associated with greater brain β-amyloid pathology in older adults, particularly those hospitalized or with hypertension. nature.com/articles/s4159… @NatureMedicine a matched @uk_biobank case-control study…

Today we’re launching the world’s most comprehensive study of proteins circulating in our bodies, which will transform research into new medical tests, drugs and treatments. Discover more: ukbiobank.ac.uk/learn-more-abo…

Delighted to see @RobertHillary's protein vQTL + GxE paper using data from UK Biobank published in @NatureComms. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Excited to share our work now in @NatureComms. Variance protein QTLs in @uk_biobank uncover gene interactions spanning female #physiology, #blood groups, white cell indices. nature.com/articles/s4146… Shout out to my co-authors and former Biogen team.

Delighted to share our study looking at the associations of genetically predicted plasma levels for different complement and coagulation factors w/ long COVID! Find the preprint here: medrxiv.org/content/10.110… @medrxivpreprint [1/x]

Thank you to @ben_b_sun and Brad Gibson for including me into their latest review paper, just out in @molcellprot: Promises and challenges of populational proteomics in health and disease doi.org/10.1016/j.mcpr… The graphic is based on metabolomix.com/a-table-of-all…

It has been a joy working with Brad Gibson and @ksuhre on this perspective piece, now online in @molcellprot, glimpsing into the “Promises and challenges of populational proteomics in health and disease”. #proteomics #genomics doi.org/10.1016/j.mcpr…

Excited to see our GWAS meta-analysis of NMR metabolic biomarkers in 136,000 participants from 33 datasets out in Nature nature.com/articles/s4158… after years of work by many people, esp. @savitakartik @ClareOliverWil1 @eliasallara @mak_sysepi @johanneskettune & Minna Karjalainen

Preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…. Viral infections have been linked to an increased risk for dementia - might SARS-CoV-2 infection also confer an increased risk of dementia in segments of the population?

I am super-excited to see this collaborative manuscript now out: Genetic determinants of blood gene expression and splicing and their contribution to molecular phenotypes and health outcomes! Pre-print: medrxiv.org/content/10.110… Data portal: intervalrna.org.uk

#usa vs #uk #infant #vaccination difference - not sure why: #meningitis - a serious infection affecting the brain, vaccination (MenB Bexsero), is given for babies in the UK and not in the US. Does anyone know the rationale?
