Excited to share our work @NatureComms👇#TWMR and #revTWMR quantify bi-directional causal effects between gene expression and complex traits and allow to estimate the large contribution of confounders to the observed trait-expression correlations

@LizaMGD @emgm2023 Amazing🤩Well deserved!!!

[Eleonora Porcu @ElePorcu]

@Eric_Fauman Thanks a lot @Eric_Fauman! Really nice to see many links confirmed by your resource!!

[Eleonora Porcu @ElePorcu]

Many many thanks to @CAuwerx @smarie_smarie Tristan Woh, Alexandre Reymond and @zkutalik

[Eleonora Porcu @ElePorcu]

🔔🔔Excited to share my first last-author paper🤩we integrated eQTL, mQTL and GWAS data in MR framework to study how metabolome mediates the effect of transcriptome on complex traits. Importantly, we show how having large molQTL data makes the difference https://t.co/hQXVyDxsKn

[Eleonora Porcu @ElePorcu]

I strongly recommend all early career bioinformaticians to apply for this amazing opportunity!!

[Zoltán Kutalik @zkutalik]

~27h left to submit your application. Apply, no matter how likely you think you will get it! It was hard to convince @ElePorcu to do so in 2019, but she doesn't regret it now... ;)

[Marie Sadler @smarie_smarie]

Excited to share that our paper about DNAm mediation through transcript levels is now published @NatureComms! https://t.co/RNjLcjGGsl Very grateful to all co-authors @CAuwerx @kaidolepik @ElePorcu @zkutalik for their precious contribution!

[Eleonora Porcu @ElePorcu]

I will be always grateful for the opportunity I had to do my postdoc in @zkutalik lab! Amazing supervisor, great colleagues, exciting science…you cannot ask more🤩 Strongly recommended!!

[Zoltán Kutalik @zkutalik]

Post-doc position open in my group. Are you a curious, motivated scientist with good stats background? Would you like to develop creative causal inference methods next to Lake Geneva and surrounded by these mountains? Apply by 30 September! More details: https://t.co/jRNoiEklSd

[Eleonora Porcu @ElePorcu]

A great team effort with @AnniqueC Antoine Weihs @kaidolepik BIOS Consortium @iTomRichardson Uwe Völker @FredSantoni @AlexanderTeumer @LudeFranke Alexandre Reymond @zkutalik

[Eleonora Porcu @ElePorcu]

🔔Finally published @GenomeMedicine!! Read out how we showed that the sex-specific heritability is not detectably mediated by sex-specific gene expression regulation in whole blood

[Eleonora Porcu @ElePorcu]

📢📢new pre-print out!!! With @jacquesfellay @precision_chuv we developed a #PRS combining multiple cardiac risk factors to predict the risk of sudden cardiac arrest in patients affected by coronary artery disease https://t.co/3p80F4wPbY

@cristenw Congratulations!!! All the best for your future steps!!

[Eleonora Porcu @ElePorcu]

Waiting forward to discussing with you about PRS in cardiovascular diseases! With @jacquesfellay we propose a metaPRS to predict the risk of sudden cardiac arrest in CAD patients! Come to discuss with me today at 1pm - poster P25.001.A #eshg2022

[Eleonora Porcu @ElePorcu]

Super happy to join the #ESHG2022 in Vienna!! We are back with in person conferences and it’s really exciting!! @eshgsociety

[Eleonora Porcu @ElePorcu]

🔔New pre-print out!!! With @CAuwerx @smarie_smarie Alexandre Reymond and @zkutalik we combined eQTL, mQTL and GWAS data in a multi-omics Mendelian Randomization approach to identify metabolites mediating transcript-trait associations. https://t.co/1L5f7INDuS

[Jacques Fellay @jacquesfellay]

Come work with us on translational genomics: bioinformatician & data scientist positions at @CHUVLausanne precision medicine unit @precision_chuv. Enthusiasm, skills, and some French required...

🤩🤩Amazing work done by @jenny_sjaarda and @zkutalik using MR to investigate couple phenotypic similarity and distinguish causal and confounding effects 👇🏻

[Zoltán Kutalik @zkutalik]

We're happy to share our work on applying Mendelian randomisation to dissect causes and confounders of assortative mating in the UK Biobank. https://t.co/3gSENeTF7H

@CirielloLab @MarcoVarrone @unil @dbc_unil Bravo @MarcoVarrone!!

[AJHG @AJHGNews]

New! @CAuwerx et al. explore the impact of CNVs on complex human traits @unil

[Chiara Auwerx @CAuwerx]

Excited to have my 1st first author paper out in @AJHGNews! 🤩 We explored the role of individual #CNVs and their burden in complex traits using @uk_biobank and @ESTbiobank data.
