Congratulations to Pamela Matias Garcia for her successful PhD defense!
@pamelinni@EPI_Helmholtz
Great work over the last 4 years on proteomic and DNA methylation-based biomarkers in relation to kidney function. Congrats, Dr. Matias Garcia – we are very proud of you!
How much difference does it make to open the windows?
Wear a mask?
What if we're eating?
Questions we've all been asking about covid - hoping to help answer them with this new tool:

For our next #MondaySeminar@pamelinni 👩🔬will give us insights on
#Plasma proteomic #biomarkers and #DNA 🧬methylation-based measures of biological #aging: a #multiomics approach to kidney function and related traits
We are super excited to hear her talk! 🤓
THINK LIKE AN EPIDEMIOLOGIST:
The CDC’s recent announcement that the Delta variant has an average reproductive number of 6-9 has a lot of people concerned & many are asking me about whether this means we need COVID boosters.
Let’s talk through the math of how we might decide!
How vaccines change the pandemic:
Among 50 most populous countries, Spain and UK have
highest % of fully vaccinated people
highest #COVID19 incidence
lowest case fatality risk
Age-based vaccination + reopening = a pandemic in the not fully vaccinated young.
@OurWorldinData
NEW—An observational study of >70,000 people in the UK hospitalised with severe #COVID19 finds 1 in 2 developed at least one health complication. Authors warn of significant challenges for individuals and health & social care in the coming years.

Fully vaccinated people can contract & transmit COVID, which is why it's important to wear masks indoors AND on planes. Close to 60 of the Texas House of Reps’ 67 Democrats departed Austin on two charter flights to the nation’s capital. Now 3 have tested positive for COVID.
If you know anyone interested in learning in Spanish about:
* (basic, August 2-6) R & @RStudio
* (intermediate, August 9-13) Becoming a more organized & efficient #rstats coder using RStudio projects
* (advanced, August 9-13) analyzing #scRNAseq data with @Bioconductor

🥳Congrats to our #PhDCandidate@pamelinni for her excellent work as a first-author!
Also, check out her second first-author paper on #DNA 🧬 and #aging:

Her supervisor @waldenberger1 👩🔬must be so proud of her!
Our paper on plasma proteins and renal function is now out @JASN_News! Thanks to @pamelinni for an excellent job and to all collaborators and studies involved!
Work Package 6 takes care of laboratory aspects of the project - f.e. provide information about blood parameters, genetic variants of #COVID19 with the corresponding clinical pictures and influence of the microbiome. Led by @UAntwerpen, co-led by @UniboMagazine
“I am excited to be involved in methylation profiling and analysis within ORCHESTRA. We will address the epigenetic implications of SARS-CoV-2 infection and therapy.” (@waldenberger1, Work Package 6 „Biobanking,genomics and virus-host interactions“, @EPI_Helmholtz#SARS_CoV_2
"[...] great things can be achieved through collaborative scientific work. I am happy to be part of the team looking into the epigenetic signatures of this disease." (@pamelinni, Work Package 6 „Biobanking, genomics and virus-host interactions“, @HelmholtzMunich)
