Neuroanatomical structures 🧠 help regulate the endocrine and reproductive system. We investigated genetics underlying variation in these structures using ~35,000 @uk_biobank MRIs and here’s what we found! 🧵 below or new preprint @medrxivpreprint > https://t.co/WmXlCXc120

@uk_biobank @SamvidaV @_barneyhill @ChrisArthofer @FrederikJLange This was a dream-team collaboration between @fmrib_steve, @ChrisArthofer, @FrederikJLange & @ten_photos and members of @ceclindgren team, @TeresaF49686917, @SamvidaV, @_barneyhill, @astheeggeggs, @NikBaya & @CNellaker and with the generosity of @uk_biobank patients✨ (10/10)

@uk_biobank @SamvidaV @_barneyhill @ChrisArthofer @FrederikJLange Together, this work is 🚀 super exciting 🚀 in terms of our understanding about the link between anatomical variation in these neuroendocrine structures and their role in production and release of reproductive hormones, opening up new research avenues for the future!

Come and work with us! The Lindgren @ceclindgren Lab at the Big Data Institute
@bdi_oxford in Oxford is looking to hire a junior statistical geneticist/bioinformatician (finished or about to finish undergrad/masters): https://t.co/10kZgRtoE2. Please share!

Very happy that HAPPY is published at @NatureComms!

HAPPY is an AI pipeline for cell and micro-anatomical tissue analysis in placenta histology. The placenta has seen relatively little attention in AI for digital pathology and it’s time we change that 🧵

Playing with the codes of life at @KulturnattenKbh @UCPH_Research @UCPH_health!! Come join us make DNA bracelets 🧬, helix origami and learn about CRISPR ✂️with @UCPH_CPR and @UCPH_BRIC. #scicomm #crispr

[Hannah Currant @HannahCurrant1]

Excited to be @KulturnattenKbh @UCPH_Research where we are making DNA bracelets, helix origami 🧬 and competing in our CRISPR challenge ✂️with @UCPH_CPR and @UCPH_BRIC

🎉 new pre print on PRESNER pipeline - a LLM (BioBERT) scheme to extract+normalise drug prescriptions, a collaboration from my group @emblebi lead by Maria Herrero-Zazo and Isabel Segura-Bedmar's group from @uc3m in Madrid, 1st author Cristóbal Colón-Ruiz https://t.co/ikn3uF1UOV

[Hannah Currant @HannahCurrant1]

Very excited to be at my first ESHG getting to talk with old pals and new. Join me at the GWAS session at 11am today where I’ll be sharing my work on the genetics of the endocrine-related brain 🧠 🧬#ESHG2023

Interested in genetics of women’s health? Come listen to my talk on mapping the genetic and phenotypic associations of female phenotypes today at 11.45 in Hall 5 #eshg2023

[EMBL-EBI @emblebi]

Rare retinal dystrophies are the leading cause of blindness in working-age adults.

New research using @uk_biobank data provides insights into these rare diseases.

Excited to continue working on genetics of complex traits using biomedical imaging with the team
@TheBrunakLab @UCPH_CPR and @ceclindgren @bdi_oxford 🌞🌞🌞10/10

[Hannah Currant @HannahCurrant1]

How do genetics affect morphology of human photoreceptor cells and what does this reveal about retinal disease?👁️We performed GWAS using ~30,000 retinal images from @uk_biobank and here's what we found!

This work was a great collaboration with clinicians @Moorfields including Omar Mahroo, Andrew Webster, @praveenjpatel and @anthonykhawaja. And the 2nd half of my PhD work with @ewanbirney
@emblebi, although the group continues it’s work on the retina with Panos Sergouniotis.9/10
