An engaging Inaugural Lecture by Prof Rohini Mathur at Queen Mary University of London today. If you missed it, here is the key message: Health inequality is unfair and avoidable.
Massive congratulations Moneeza K Siddiqui. Well deserved !
I feel honoured to speak at the “Diversity in Clinical Genomics: Minding the gap” meeting today in Cambridge Parachute science hindered Africa's genomics. Initiatives like Human Heredity and Health in Africa empower local researchers, but more strategic efforts are needed to build capacity and leadership
#STROKE: Research Letter explores the role of genetically-encoded serum lipid levels and stroke risk in individuals of European and African descent by means of a Mendelian randomization study. #AHAJournals ahajrnls.org/3RU9IER Dipender Gill @Sfatumo Kirabo Gloria
#GERS2024 looking forward to prof Segun Fatumo at Beyond the Genome session on #diversity #genomes
Imagine a world where everyone benefits from genomic healthcare, regardless of background. At #GERS2024, I stressed the need for diverse genomic research to generate broadly beneficial findings. Let’s build capacity & educate communities to foster trust. Vivienne Parry
A brilliant panel session discussing equity in genomics research, highlighting the importance of building trust within diverse communities when driving innovation. #GERS2024 LATHA CHANDRAMOULI Segun Fatumo Dr Helena Wells
Delighted to announce our new paper molecularpsychiatry Our research highlights the potential of genetics for mental health burdens in Africa The prevalence of Lifetime MDD is 23% in our population with significant association with high blood pressure Great work led by Allan Kalungi
Excited to share our new perspective Science Magazine We highlight the need for broader representation in genomic research to ensure global health equity The new MVP cohort shows progress with 29% non-EUR ancestry, but more efforts are needed in LMICs science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
We published our perspective alone alongside the newly published VA Research paper in Science Magazine The new MVP cohort shows progress with 29% non-EUR ancestry, but more efforts are needed especially in LMICs. Great work co-led with Alice Williamson science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Sometimes we need to provide evidence *against* the positive bias in biomedical research. Stellar work led by Heba Alwan MRC Epidemiology Unit thelancet.com/journals/ebiom…
