Our pre-print describing the @uk_biobank Pharma Proteomics Project (UKB-PPP) is now online! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… We identify 10k+ genetic associations w/ protein concentrations; 85% are new. The data should help drive discovery of new biomarkers, diagnostics & medicines.

Our latest work in @CellCellPress is a cell atlas of chromatin accessibility in 30 human tissues, integrated with prior data from 15 fetal tissues: - 222 cell types, ~1.2 million cCREs - Cell type & adult/fetal-specific elements - Interpretation of GWAS cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

#pfizer has an active and robust post-doc program. Check out this opportunity in our Rare Disease Genetics group! Please reach out to my colleague @joanneberghout for more information!
I know some of you are here for careers! Check this out and say hello if you're interested #ASHG21 Postdoctoral Fellow, Rare Disease Research Unit #genetics #rare #industry careers.ashg.org/jobs/156316…

Our paper out in @Nature - genetic association and single cell epigenomics reveal novel T1D signals and cell type-specific regulatory programs - which together implicate exocrine pancreas in T1D risk. Led by @JoshChiou and thanks to our great collaborators nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
