A very nice conversation between Emma/Dylan and us was online in Diabetologia. Need to be very careful about what we are instrumenting when conducting drug target MR! link.springer.com/article/10… link.springer.com/article/10… @tomrgaunt @mendel_random @emmylooroll @dylan_wi11iams

Very nice piece of work from our brilliant PhD candidate Huiling Zhao @leu1226 🌟🌟🌟 Such an honour to be part of GBMI! Great honour to collaborate with big names: Ben Brumpton, Wei Zhou, Ben Neale and Tom Gaunt. Hope this will open the door for multi-ancestry proteome-wide MR.

So excited to see the flagship and 7 more GBMI papers online today. It’s such a honor to work with the great team led by @bmneale, @cristenw, @dalygene, @genetisaur coordinated by @sineadbchapman. Big thanks to biobanks and their participants for making our research possible.
Check out the first studies from the Global Biobank Meta-analysis Initiative @GlobalBiobanks offering guidance on making #GWAS more diverse and representative. Now published in @CellGenomics

New preprint available 🥳 (with @clara_albi, @bpasaniuc, @bvilhjal) We present a new version of LDpred2-auto and validate it for inference of genetic architecture parameters. This figure gives a summary of what LDpred2-auto can give you now: 1/
