Interested in a 4-year PhD studying the genetics of BMI and comorbidities? Don't wait, apply for my @AstraZeneca-funded studentship w/ @MikeXiao_JIANG 🔗: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/48333/ (due October 31)! @CAMBRIDGE_CEU @HLRI_Cambridge @Cambridgecardio @DPHPC @CambridgeATS
Congratulations @claireicoffey on passing your PhD viva (it's not everyday your first PhD student graduates)! It's been a pleasure to supervise your work applying algorithmic fairness techniques to risk prediction models and polygenic scores with Angela Wood & Mike Inouye.
📣 Thrilled to announce our collaborative tutorial with @EBItraining! Dive into the world of polygenic scores and explore the PGS Catalog resources (including pgsc_calc) - ideal for those seeking a comprehensive yet quick overview. Access it online at buff.ly/CEBWMio!
From @sangerinstitute and the CEU! Translating genetic changes into future health impact New resource helps bridge the gap between identifying genetic changes linked to health conditions & understanding how these changes impact biological processes 🔗tinyurl.com/3fs4prt3
New PhD studentship opportunities! The Cambridge BHF CRE will be funding non-clinical 3-year PhD studentships, with a hope to recruit people interested in interdisciplinary projects 👉For more information & how to apply please visit jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/49483/ 📅Apply by 16 Jan!

We are looking for a new colleague!
We are recruiting a colleague in the Donnelly Centre at the University of Toronto. We are looking for an assistant professor in the broad area of functional genomics: jobs.utoronto.ca/job/Toronto-As… closing date is Jan 16, 2025 @DonnellyCentre @UofT @uoftmedicine
Big shout out to those researchers who made their data available in PDB over the years The Chemistry Nobel Prize winners today relied on that open academic data to train their models We wouldn't have these advances if researchers hadn't made 200,000 protein structures available
A great day for #FAIRdata and polygenic score research - the @PGSCatalog continues to grow past 5000 scores! In honour of the occasion @Florent_Yvon & I commissioned some AI art (you should see the ones we scrapped). A massive congrats to the whole PGSCatalog.org team!
>5000 Polygenic scores now available at PGSCatalog.org! As of today's release we've broken 5k PGS, indexing data from 673 unique publications. A big thank you to the authors submitting their data and our team in pursuit of #openscience, #FAIRdata, and reproducibility!
👉 Out now @NatureRevGenet: we CAN and we SHOULD do more to enable #genomic data sharing! 🧬🌏 👉Best practice examples and 12 actions we can all take together 👉 rdcu.be/dWfsu @GA4GH @AusGenomics @GenomicsEngland @NHSgms @AllofUsResearch @uk_biobank @ukfuturehealth
