We've mapped the placental responses to infections that cause pregnancy complications for the first time!🤰
Check out how we used single-cell genomics🧬 to uncover the human placental mechanisms to fight Listeriosis🧫, Malaria🦟, and Toxoplasmosis🦠.
our latest #MalariaCellAtlas paper is out in @ScienceMagazine today (see https://t.co/LD6aykIhVD) alongside a nice perspective showcasing the value of studying parasites before they become "zombies" (see https://t.co/jQIYJjnWNC).
Very excited to share the first manuscript out of my PhD presenting our analysis into the genetic architecture of gene expression and splicing using blood RNA-seq of 4,732 blood donors from the INTERVAL study. (1/7) https://t.co/SkOUaRNfJK
Sepsis is a highly heterogeneous condition resulting from the dysregulated host response to infection. Here we report our latest work with @KnightGenetics led by Katie Burnham. #sepsis#eqtl https://t.co/yXug6g7vEg
Excited to share the first preprint of my PhD @sangerinstitute looking into the prevalence and genetic mechanisms of gene misexpression in 4,568 whole blood RNA-seq samples from the INTERVAL cohort. https://t.co/5Ia0Z1YVPR
@guilbourque Haha I loved the slide. It was an inspiring lecture that opened my eyes to the revolutionary aspects of pangenome graphs. Was lovely to meet you and thank you very much for the lecture and the insightful comments on our study!
Excited to share our work in Nature Metabolism @NatMetabolism🎉!
Why does obesity increase COVID severity risk? What mediates this?
We integrated genetics, proteomics & scRNAseq to identify an actionable mediator NPNT, which can be ↓ by ↓body fat.

I am delighted to share our preprint on optimized CRISPR-inhibition screens in hiPSCs.
Here is a (very brief) summary of our results. A 🧵
