Proud of adding diversity to this study with data from admixed African Americans and Hispanics from Mass General Brigham Biobank CGM at MGH Mass General Research Institute and SIGMA consortium with Alicia Chagoya and Ravi Mandla. Great leadership from Eleftheria Zeggini, Benjamin Voight, Andrew Morris and many more!

New exciting GWAS of type 2 diabetes in Nature in ~2.5 million individuals (>0.4 million cases), ~40% of which are from non-European ancestries.
The sample size is so big that now the authors can dissociate the genetic signals in different clusters and use the cluster-specific

Wonderful paper just out nature from Eleftheria Zeggini and co.

#DNA insights into #diabetes

💡In the largest #type2diabetes GWAS study yet, a global team including #HelmholtzMunich researchers uncovered 600+ genetic risk loci, constructing risk scores for disease complications.

Fantastic session on the important topic of Precision Prevention in Health: The Power of Genomics Falling Walls in Berlin with a constellation of panellists Nancy J Cox Nicola Blackwood Mark McCarthy Segun Fatumo and David Crosby. Thank you for the inspirational discussion!

Such an excellent opportunity to speak about how genomics can power precision prevention across global populations Falling Walls Science Summit in Berlin today.

It was indeed a privilege to brainstorm in a panel with Eleftheria Zeggini Nicola Blackwood Mark McCarthy Nancy J Cox
