👏Today @KeithSiew gave an excellent talk on his recent @NatureComms paper on the effects of spaceflight on kidneys 👏. He got the @FunGenLab team (even more) excited about space research 🚀🧬🚀. Thanks a lot @MichaelBVaughan for inviting him and arranging all the logistics!
🚀 @KeithSiew took us to outer space this morning with a great seminar about the effects of spaceflight on the kidney. Cosmic kidney disease is a thing! Thanks for hosting @MichaelBVaughan and @SVergult !

After a 6 yr long journey, we ended the diagnostic oddysey for many individuals with ZFHX3 loss of function variants. It was a fantastic journey with many international and wonderful colleagues! Great collaboration with @SVergult and @FunGenLab! There's more to come! @AJHGNews

Thanks very much @elfridedebaere and @SVergult @FunGenLab for the invitation to visit #Ghent. Lots of cool science on #noncoding #genome ongoing!
Great talk from @StefanBarakat about missing heritability in neurodevelopmental diseases. About the 'dark matter' of the genome, Explainable AI and other exciting concepts! 👇 #IMHS @ugent_fge @Erasmusgenetica @ErasmusMC
