Excited for ICCG7! I'll be talking about polygenic risk scores on Wed and Fri. Hope to see some of there.

We're UQ News Innes Room (Building 21C) today. Come chat to us if you're interested or want to participate in the South Asian Genes and Health in Australia Study saghaus.org

Our SBayesRC method is now published in Nature Genetics! SBayesRC is a full Bayesian method for polygenic score prediction that can analyse all common variants jointly with functional annotations in a single step. Zhili Zheng Institute for Molecular Bioscience nature.com/articles/s4158…

🎉 Yeah 🍾

There are now more than 300 students enrolled in my productive-r-workflow.com mini course! 😳🤘

It's approximately 10x more work than I thought but with awesome feedback still totally worth it.

Mendelian Randomisation (MR) is going to hell in a handcart, with an exponential weekly increase of papers with Mendelian Randomisation in the title, most of them nonsense. 25th April 4.30pm online or in person UCL I'll talk about what should be done forms.office.com/pages/response…

Postdoc position to join my new group Oxford Psychiatry and Big Data Institute. UKRI funded 'CHECKPOINT: Finding immune & metabolic pathways to SMI' led by Ed Bullmore, direct supervision from Mary-Ellen Lynall collaborating with Andrew McIntosh . my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…

Mendelian randomisation certainly going to far, see m.youtube.com/watch?v=jQmlba… /cont

The Faculty of Science, University of Melbourne has is opening multiple appointments at the Associate Prof and Prof levels across a range of areas including Maths & Stats, with a focus on multi-disciplinary research. DM us if you are interested!

Join us for 1 week of #genomics workshops in Brisbane. I'll be teaching about predicting drug effects using genomic data, using methods such as drug Mendelian randomisation analysis and resources such as Connectivity Map.

For those interested, here's a brief 30 minute primer on quantitative genetics theory from first principles. youtube.com/watch?v=1lR09F…

Are you interested in developing powerful predictive models from genomic data? Are you Bayesian-friendly? My lab is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to develop polygenic risk scores that generalises better across ancestry groups.

Back in London after 8 years to work with new collaborators and meet old colleagues. Was wonderful to catch up with my PhD supervisors and reminisce about my PhD years UCL Genetics Institute, which was located in the Darwin Building.

New Snow Fellow: A/Prof Loïc Yengo's expertise in statistical genomics and human genetics is at the cutting edge of understanding how genetic variations influence health, offering new insights into disease prevention and treatment.
