Last night was a great way to close our Bicentennial Global Health Conference: Collaboration for our Third Century.
We were joined at Old Trafford by President and Vice-Chancellor @Duncanivison who awarded an honorary professorship to Rong Hu from China Pharmaceutical University.

This week, experts from across the globe are gathering at The University of Manchester to celebrate our global partnerships.
Cross-collaborations on an international scale are vital to inform our research and develop plans for the future.

We're excited to share our latest study in @JHypertension!

Using @uk_biobank data & WGS, we uncovered 29 genetic variants linked to hypertension, including 2 novel, independent variants mapping to FBN2 and JPH2, opening doors for new therapeutic targets
