This review is a great weekend read on translational genomics.
How do we move from genetic associations to novel biology and ultimately therapeutic hypotheses at multiple scales (from molecular changes, to cellular architectures, to organs, to disease?)
A major epigenetics study using UK Biobank samples will unlock new insights into the biological basis for human health & disease ✅
Led by @UniofExeter, the research will transform how we understand, predict & treat health outcomes including heart conditions, dementia & cancer.
🚨Claude can now simplify research at a whole new level.
It transforms stacks of academic papers into clean, structured insights in minutes.
No confusion. Just clarity.
Here are 9 prompts to make it effortless 👇

Here are my four GWAS lectures of ~20 minutes each for the International Statistical Genetics Workshop 2026.
They're part of the broader workshop curriculum but also work as standalone lectures covering the basics of GWAS from the ground up.

#ESKD#VisualAbstract
Excited to share a milestone published in @NatureMedicine from our decade-long effort to build The Human Phenotype Project, a unique longitudinal cohort with unmatched depth of clinical and multi-omic profiling, enabling truly predictive, personalized medicine.
Led together with @ericxing, it is a global collaboration between @WeizmannScience, @MBZUAI, and Japanese partners, spanning 30,000+ participants and continuing to grow internationally
By devising AI models trained on individuals deeply profiled with genetics, microbiome, glucose, sleep, bone density, and more, we can now forecast diseases before symptoms appear and simulate treatment or lifestyle outcomes.
Key findings:
• Re-defined metabolic risk thresholds
• Predicted menopause impact via biological aging
• Mapped organ-specific aging trajectories
• Developed models for early detection of diabetes & heart disease
This dataset is a blueprint for digital health twins, AI-driven tools grounded in real-world, longitudinal data

Mendelian randomization (MR) is widely used to infer causality.
But beyond a few textbook examples, we lack large-scale benchmarks of truly causal effects to validate how well MR methods perform.
This study offers a scalable framework👇

In adults with type 2 diabetes & increased risk of CV disease, targeting systolic BP <120 mmHg significantly reduces major CV events vs standard <140 mm Hg.
Results of a RCT (DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa2412006)
More intensive BP control = better outcomes.
