a real team effort - congrats to @SarahEGraham1 on the this officially being out!
a real team effort - congrats to @SarahEGraham1 on the this officially being out!
New in @NatureMedicine from @CristenW, @minouye271 and colleagues: Responsible use of polygenic risk scores in the clinic: potential benefits, risks and gaps. Dr. Willer addresses the big questions: labblog.uofmhealth.org/industry-dx/dn…
Friday, October 22, at 11:45 a.m. @bnwolford will present #1372 a collaboration by @LabWiller and Dr. Jordan Shavit's (@Clot1) lab titled "Multi-ancestry GWAS for venous thromboembolism identifies novel loci followed by experimental validation" ashg2021.ashg.org/sessions/19808…
Highly recommend two #ASHG21 poster talks by talented grad students today! The first is "Polygenic score from a large GWAS predicts cases of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction but not preserved ejection fraction" by Kuan-Han Wu of @LabWiller.
In this month's Inside @AJHGNews, we check in with Cristen Willer and Tanmoy Roychowdhury to discuss their paper, Regulatory variants in TCF7L2 are associated with thoracic aortic aneurysm. Read more: bit.ly/38yMSM7
She’s the best PI around! @CristenW
We are looking for TWO new postdocs: one in bulk and scRNA analyses and one in genomic discovery. APPLY if you're interested! RNA: careers.umich.edu/job_detail/199… DNA: careers.umich.edu/job_detail/199…
We think she is the best PI around, @CristenW. Congratulations Dr. Willer! ashg.org/publications-n…
Very pleased to have a chapter of my dissertation with @CristenW out in the world as a pre-print. What started as a rotation project evaluating the use of family history in GWAS led to some interesting observations about family history in @theHUNTstudy.

Join us on Tuesday when @CristenW and @RajaniAatre will discuss a really important topic - what do we do when we find actionable genetic variants in biobank participants? Hear about their recent experience and views on this dilemma. Sign up: cpm.well.ox.ac.uk/content/events
Super excited to have @CristenW speak to us at @CPMOxford about this awesome work with Rajani Aatre: "What we learned about returning research genetic results to patients in aortic clinic:A conversation with a Genomic Scientist and a Clinical Genetic Counsellor." Sign up link👇

Our latest publication is online! Together with colleagues from @umichCVC and the Genetic Counseling team at U of M, we describe the disclosure of thoracic aortic dissection pathogenic variants to biobank participants. @CristenW bmcmedgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
Work led by Hank Wu, @WhitneyHornsby, and @CristenW is out today in @PLOSONE! How COVID-19 impacted Michiganders? Read about it here: journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
Big congratulations to post-doc @TanmoyRoychow13 for receiving the 2020 BIRD Award [bioclues.org/bird-awards/] from the Bioclues Organization in India, for making outstanding contributions in the area of Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics!
