Proud and excited to receive a @DFF_raad grant for the startup of my translational renal cancer research group at @moma_dk #renalcancer
28 lovende, yngre forskere har netop modtaget bevillinger for 78 millioner kroner under Inge Lehmann-programmet, der har til formål at fremme mere ligestilling i forskningsmiljøer i Danmark. #dkforsk Læs mere og se projekterne her👇 dff.dk/aktuelt/nyheder/28-fo…

Thrilled to share our latest paper on #mutationalsignatures recently published in @CellGenomics 🙌 Thanks so much to everyone that made SigProfilerExtractor a reality, especially Ludmil, @mishugeb, Mark and @VangaraRaviteja. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1016/j.xgen.2022.…
1/3 New powerful #AI, produced by #CancerGrandChallenges researchers and published in @CellGenomics, identifies 4 new #mutationalsignatures – including the long-sought-after link between #tobacco and #bladdercancer. Find out more: tinyurl.com/48svmp83

If you are a data scientist (or just good at coding, machine learning, maths and stats) this is your chance to contribute to #COVID19 critical care! Help doctors find out what they can do to help maximise the survival rate of ICU patients? #datasaveslives
New paper out today in the Annals of Human Genetics from @UGI_at_UCL Professor @davecurtis314 "Clinical relevance of genome‐wide polygenic score may be less than claimed" tinyurl.com/y6zz97pu #ugi #ucl #polygenic #PRS
