Happy to see this work from @JordiLambert and @SebnemOc out today. We identify RUNX1 and TIMP1/CD74/STAT3 as vascular smooth muscle cell regulation through gene regulatory network analysis nature.com/articles/s44161-0… @TheBHF @HLRI_Cambridge @Cambridgecardio @MedCambridge

My wife died last week. She was the most amazing person. I’m at a loss.

We held her funeral and wake last week. And we got through it. A special thank you to @LalithWijedoru, Anna’s friend, for acting as celebrant, getting words out of me and making it all much easier.

It has all been a very difficult. I’m going to take the kids away for a few nights of fresh air and recovery before trying to get back to working and some form of routine.

Anna was passionate about her work and carried on throughout her illness and treatment. Most recently Anna was the CEO of the Myrovlytis Trust - a medical research charity that promotes research and patient outreach for rare genetic disorders.

Our paper explores the X chromosome, the oft-neglected/excluded chr of GWAS, and describe a locus associated with favorable lipids, CAD risk, T2D risk, and adiposity distribution nature.com/articles/s41467-0… @NatureComms [1/7]
