Uudessa FIMM HelsinkiUni tutkimuksessa selvitettiin ennennäkemättömän tarkasti suomalaisten geneettistä sukutaustaa. Matti Pirinen & Sini Kerminen tulosten avulla pystyttiin seuraamaan 1900-luvun muuttoliikkeiden vaikutusta väestön sekoittumiseen. #geenitutkimus www2.helsinki.fi/fi/uutiset/ela…

Exciting day for COVID-19 host genetics! 🧬🎊 1) Flagship COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative paper. Largest GWAS for COVID-19. 50000 cases. 15 loci medrxiv.org/content/10.110… 2) The clinical impact of the strongest genetic variant for COVID-19 and its age-dependent effect. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨New position in our team: post-doc in health data scientist aka epidemiologist/biostatistician🚨 Apart from the fantastic data resources we strongly support an intellectually and culturally diverse environment The project is on longCOVID 👇👇👇 www2.helsinki.fi/en/open-positi…

Results of the global COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative effort initiated by Andrea ganna Mark Daly FIMM HelsinkiUni Broad Institute just published in nature. The study uncovers several genetic markers associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 severity. www2.helsinki.fi/en/news/health…

Excited to announce an open PhD position in my computational research group HPI Digital Health. Please share. hpi.de/en/the-hpi/org…

Looking for some reading this holiday season? Just a reminder that our latest manuscript describing data freeze 6 of the COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative is live on @medrxiv!

Happy to share our new preprint on meta-analysis fine-mapping in the Global Biobank Meta-analysis Initiative Global Biobank Meta-analysis Initiative. Joint work w/ Roy Elzur Wei Zhou under the mentorship of Mark Daly Hilary Finucane. Tl;dr meta-analysis fine-mapping is hard! 1/n medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

A 🧵on our paper just out online nature.com/articles/s4158…, in which we try to understand the selective forces operating on human genes under high selective constraint by studying the fantastic genetic resource that is UK Biobank.

I'm hiring postdocs to join my team at CGM at MGH & Broad! We study patterns of rare variation in large genomic datasets (like gnomAD), and leverage those into insights about genetic risk for disease. If you are interested, please reach out or apply here: partners.taleo.net/careersection/…
