Crossing the border between research and clinical implementation..Glad to see our Reactive Pharmacogenomics TestingClopidogrel (CYP2C19) Pilot study implemented at the Heart Hospital. Thanks to the great collaboration between @HMC_Qatar @QatarGenome @QF
#PrecisionMedicine

[Qatar Genome Program | برنامج قطر جينوم @QatarGenome]

In response to the exponential growth of data being produced in #Qatar
We launched Q-BIG Forum, for all to meet and share insights and forge multicenter partnerships.
with our strategic partners @QatarComputing

The forum is open to everyone interested in bioinformatics discussions. Join us ! @QF @QatarGenome @QatarComputing @SidraMedicine @QBRI12 @WCMQatar @QatarUniversity

[Guillaume Butler-Laporte @GBL_Unit]

Happy to announce that this is now out (https://t.co/Lr5uuaoUNL). Huge effort from a large community of scientists, most I met for the first time in 2 years at last week’s @ASHG: 22 cohorts from 12 countries looking at the rarest genetic variants to find drivers of severe COVID.

[Chadi Saad @chadi_saad_]

Glade to be part of the analysis team for this huge effort 🧬

[Qatar Genome Program | برنامج قطر جينوم @QatarGenome]

New:Another Global contribution to uncover genetic risk factors of human diseases:23 biobanks from 4 continents, >2.2M participants, 14 exemplar diseases & endpoints. Pleased @QatarGenome & @Qatar_Biobank @QF to be the first from MENA and West Asia to map the Arab genome in #GBMI

[Qatar Genome Program | برنامج قطر جينوم @QatarGenome]

Great exchange between two large-scale national projects @QatarGenome & Precision Health Research Program #PRECISE #Singapore during #PMFG2022 , to advance health &clinical breakthroughs in both countries
