We are pleased to announce the largest multi-ancestry study of lung function genetics, which identified 1020 risk variants with insights into the contribution of variants in different populations, mechanisms underlying COPD and potential therapies

Excited to announce this PhD opportunity starting Sept 2022 and focusing on predicting disease risk in African populations, supervised by Frank Dudbridge, @SFatumo and me. Applications will close on 01/12/2021. RT appreciated! :) https://t.co/Sjw8DeWIac

[Richard Allen @rjallen513]

We're advertising for a PhD project (supervised by myself and @LouiseVwain) that will use large genetic datasets to find out why chronic lung diseases progress at different rates in different people, and how this varies across ancestry groups.

Fully-funded @wellcometrust PhD available using genomic data to study asthma subtypes to inform drug discovery and precision medicine. Sept 2022 start. Great training opportunity for students from biological or computer science or maths backgrounds. https://t.co/TdUEMTonJm

Finland detects UK & SA variants. As immune pressure on virus grows, evolution will speed up & any variants that escape that immunity will have selective advantage. Both variants huge worry, variant described SA, may already evade mAbs, variant UK more transmissible
