Cancer-type somatic #mutations in saccular cerebral aneurysms | @ejhg_journal
Complex diseases like #aneurysms have chaotic pathogenesis—but is there true randomness? Thrilled to share our new findings! @SYHLab @KaikkonenLab nature.com/articles/s41431-0…
Kiitos Jukka Mönkköselle arvokkaasta panoksesta Itä-Suomen yliopistolle ja lämpimät onnittelut uudelle rehtorille @tapiomaatta! Odotan innolla tulevaa yhteistyötä mm. @AIV_Institute ja kampuskehittämisen kautta!
Vähän myöhässä, mutta vielä kerran: upea väitös ja suuri ilo olla mukana @SYHLab yhteistyökumppanina kuuntelemassa ja juhlistamassa @Kettu_S! Lämpimät onnittelut vielä tohtorille ja kiitokset ikimuistoisista juhlista!
FM Sanna Kettusen väitöstutkimus tuotti uutta tietoa merkittävän sepelvaltimotautiin ja diabetekseen liittyvän geneettisen riskialueen vaikutusmekanismeista. Väitös 22.11.2024 Kuopiossa, seurattavissa myös verkossa. @SYHLab @UEF_DPMM uef.fi/fi/artikkeli/fm-sanna…
Great resource for research! Version 1 of the meta-analysis, combining GWAS data from MVP, FinnGen, and UKBB has been released and is available for exploration here:

That's a wrap on #ASHG24 in snowy Denver! Great talks and science, and the best part—catching up with friends and colleagues (wish I could have caught everyone on photo). Until next time!
Thank you to Iordanis Arzimanoglou for the insightful @NatureBiotech paper on the @EUeic health biotech portfolio! Our #EIC Pathfinder #MIRACLEeic project is proud to be part of this legacy, pushing forward multiomics-based risk prediction of ASCVD
