I am thrilled to share that my first PhD paper on the first African genetics study on prostate cancer has been published!

GenomeIndia is a tour de force project which showed that over a 100 Indian scientists from across 20 institutions and universities came together to catalog the most comprehensive genetic diversity compendium of the Indian population. 1/4

@tetheredtoed1 tagged me into this thread and rather than going down the comments trying to explain to each person what thresholds scientists have to meet to get federal funding, let me explain it in one thread.
Not all science projects that deserve funding appear immediately rational to the general public. I recall @SarahPalinUSA criticizing "fruit fly research" during the McCain campaign, seemingly unaware that fruit flies are the primary model organism in modern genetics research.
4/5 🔬These findings can enhance prostate cancer risk models and inform personalized screening for men of African descent. Moreover, our research highlights the critical need for diverse representation in genetic studies to advance global health outcomes.
5/5 🌟Many thanks to all the coauthors, @UjaniHazra @AgalliuIlir, my advisor, Joe Lachance, and the MADCaP consortium, especially @TimRebbeck, for their invaluable mentorship.

Hi @cgivancouver @HCI_Ottawa, I require immediate assistance in procuring two emergency visas for the family of an Indian national involved in a major car accident in Vancouver. His condition is critical.

It'd be soon when US graduate school applicants start receiving decisions. Ping me by email if you are a MS/ PhD applicant, and are interested in discussing decision-making on your offer(s). Plz RT @VoicesofIndAcad @PhDsofIndia.
Thanks to @arjunrajlab whose tweet triggered this.
I was delighted to present my research at #ASHG2022 on the first Pan-African Prostate cancer GWAS in Africa. Thanks to my advisor Dr. Joseph Lachance and the support of the @MADCaPNetwork and @TimothyRebbeck #ASHG22
