Today I passed my PhD viva with no corrections 😊🎉 a massive thanks has to go to the entire @CNGGcardiff psychosis department for all of their help and guidance, but particularly to my incredible PhD supervisors, @drjameswalters and @AFPopgen 😊

Open science does not open the science for all. APC are ludicrous for anyone in a LMIC, sometimes up to a yearly salary. Here Brazilian authors had their paper withdrawn because they couldn't pay Wiley's fee.

We've written a piece (us and the Comms team @CNGGcardiff) on our latest clozapine study about ancestral differences and pharmacogenomics discovery: https://t.co/Ie21kALRd2

[Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics @CNGGcardiff]

A fascinating new paper published in @thelancetpsych led by CNGG's @AFPopgen on possible improvements to medication prescription for people of Asian and African descent living with schizophrenia. 🔍

2023 is off to a fantastic start 😊officially submitted my PhD thesis today! 🎉 Thank you to everyone from @CNGGcardiff who has supported me over the last 4 years, but particularly thank you to my supervisors @drjameswalters and @AFPopgen 😊

[Djenifer Kappel 🧬(she/her) 🇧🇷 @dbkappel]

📢I’m a bit late but really happy to share our latest paper now available in Biol Psych https://t.co/Ywbra4rGLP.
🧬💊In this work we try to address if the genetic susceptibility to schizophrenia impacts on how individuals are treated (dose) with the antipsychotic clozapine (1/6)

[Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics @CNGGcardiff]

Don't miss out on the chance to hear from CNGG researchers @AFPopgen @DrKKendall @drjameswalters!

[PSYCH_STRATA @psych_strata]

🇪🇺👏 The @HorizonEU-funded project PSYCH-STRATA has officially started. Last week, the 26 partners gathered at the @WWU_Muenster 🇩🇪 to kick off the 5-years project.

Stay tuned, the work is just starting!

Congratulations to one of my wonderful supervisors 🎉 very well deserved

[Antonio F. Pardiñas @AFPopgen]

Its now official: Happy to share that I've been promoted to senior lecturer @CUmedicengage!
Career development in Academia can be *very* hard, more after moving, changing fields... I'm undoubtedly privileged. More thanks than I can fit here to my excellent colleagues @MRCcardiff!

[Antonio F. Pardiñas @AFPopgen]

Preprint alert! 📢

Very happy to share our latest work on clozapine pharmacogenomics powered by the #CLOZUK study. I'm not great at Tweetorials (or, as many might confirm, at being succinct) but I'll try to highlight a few key points in my view...🧶 [1/10]

[Antonio F. Pardiñas @AFPopgen]

Bit of a Cardiff takeover this afternoon at #WCPG2022 with stellar presentations from @dbkappel talking about our @acmedsci Springboard project (#ProudPI), as well as @JMK_Yang, @drjameswalters (on behalf of Sophie Chick), and @EilidhFenner (not pictured). Well done all!!!

[Isabella (Issie) Willcocks 🧬 @IssieWillcocks]

Congratulations @AFPopgen! 🎉

[Djenifer Kappel 🧬(she/her) 🇧🇷 @dbkappel]

Many congrats to my amazing supervisor @AFPopgen on the Gershon paper of the year for the PGC3 SCZ GWAS! 🥳🥳🥳 @ISPGnet #WCPG2022 extra points for sneaking into the conference just in time for his award!

[Hugo Creeth @HugoCreeth]

Happy to share our new paper investigating the association of ultrarare coding variants with cognitive ability in schizophrenia, out today in
@JAMAPsych. Fantastic team effort as ever from
