It’s #BlackInDataWeek !! 🤩🙌🏽 I’m Kayesha and I’m a second year Genetic Epidemiology PhD student @uniofleicester. I use electronic health record data to define drug response phenotypes for observational pharmacogenomic analyses 👩🏽💻 #BlackInDataRollCall #BlackInData
Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! 👩🏽🔬
On this #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience we’re shining a light on Dr Kayesha Coley, a Research Associate in Genetic Epidemiology at the #NIHRLeicesterBRC.
From her PhD in pharmacogenomics to groundbreaking research in lung function and pain, Kayesha’s journey is one of passion, perseverance, and representation. Her high commendation from @asthmalunguk is just one example of her impact in the field!
Join us in celebrating Kayesha and all the women pushing the boundaries of science! leicesterbrc.nihr.ac.uk/dr-k…

Application deadline for our @EBItraining sequencing course is 22nd July!
It covers all qc and mapping steps, variant calling for short and structural variants, how to analyse both short and long read sequencing data, and the basics of how to build a pipeline.
Spread the word!
Apply for this course if you would like to understand more about the technology, analysis workflows and resources for next-generation sequencing data analysis: ebi.ac.uk/training/events/ge…
Applications close 22 July

1/10 Excited to share my first first-author paper on the genetics of smoking in 10,558 men of African ancestry living in five African countries and the UK ! Below a tweetorial, or find it here in Scientific Reports 👉nature.com/articles/s41598-0…
Such a pleasure to be part of this @EBItraining course again this year!
We are on day 2 of the @EBItraining Genome bioinformatics course! Always a great pleasure to deliver this course, thanks @Cascade21 for the great action shot, and @EBItraining for the trust over the years. Looking forward to the next edition in person? 🤞
Very excited to share that my PhD project investigating the genetic determinants of ACE inhibitor-induced cough is now out as a pre-print! 🧬👩🏽💻

TL;DR 🧵 (1/9)
Genome-wide association study of ACE inhibitor-induced cough implicates neuropeptides and shows genetic overlap with chronic dry cough medrxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #medRxiv
Huge thanks to my supervisors @chiarabatini and @Martin_Tobin, others at the @uniofleicester for their contributions @davesheph, @CatherineJohn44, @edhollox @LouiseVwain, @HDR_UK for funding, and of course all @uk_biobank and @ExceedStudy participants ✨ (8/9)
