Thrilled to be awarded a LEO grant to launch the Skin Genetics Consortium - to undertake global GWAS for all common skin conditions
In the third and final round of 2024, the LEO Foundation awards 15 international scientists with a research grant. The funding – totaling just over DKK 56 million (EUR 7.5 million)– supports cutting-edge research in the field of skin research🌟tinyurl.com/52jzv7ab
Come join us (virtually) next month for Gen Epi training!
Looking for a course to develop a grounding in a wide range of cutting-edge genetic epidemiological methods for complex traits? Spaces available on our online Genetic Epidemiology online course 11 - 17 Dec.

Proud to see some #BIOMAP_IMI contributions at @ESDRorg this year by @drpaternoster, @huebenthal_cau, Ana Rebane & Zoltan Radai.
We are looking forward to a productive exchange on dermatological research.

📣New study identifies two proteins that may contribute to #Stroke recurrence!
Findings could help identify drug targets to mitigate/decrease stroke-related disability + mortality.

1st publication of my PhD in print! 🎉 An accessible guide for in-silico GWAS variant interpretation with @drsarabrown @drpaternoster
General pipelines (FUMA/MAGMA) are good, but bespoke analysis is better! We recommend investigative procedure and provide a full list of tools 😁

Look what’s just landed in our yard @tobacco_factory :-) Come to this Sunday’s @TFSundayMarket .. and stroke gently! Thanks to artist @kunstity @theunicornfest #theUnicornfest #Bristol #Unicorn colouring books @5acrefarmer shop
I just supported this case! (again) - you should too (if you can). The best opportunity we have to change how USS operate! crowdjustice.com/case/save-p… via @CrowdJustice
Thank you so much to the Leo Foundation @LEOFondet for this incredible award. Also to all my wonderful collaborators in eczema genetics who made this possible
Congratulations to the 3 winners of the LEO Foundation Award 2023: @billdamsky from @yale, @LMackayLab from @unimelb & @drpaternoster from @mrc_ieu at @BristolUni. Awards presented live on stage by CSO at LEO Foundation @ame_engel at @ISID2023Tokyo - leo-foundation.org/en/2023/0…
I now have a fabulous skin sculpture to adorn my desk! I might have the leave the flowers in Japan though. #ISID2023
