Applications are open for the 2025 Introduction to Bioinformatics Course now hosted by AfriGen-D (previously hosted by @H3ABioNet), see: tinyurl.com/mszn6se4. The deadline for applications 17 March 2025.
Excited to share our latest study on integrating single-cell RNAseq data with polygenic scores to predict cisplatin-induced ototoxicity!
Read more here: rdcu.be/dWrIX & and in the great summary thread by PhD student @MiaoNixie below!๐
1/ Starting the year by reflecting on some exciting progress from late last year: our research article, โLeveraging Large-Scale Datasets and Single Cell Omics Data to Develop a Polygenic Score for Cisplatin-Induced Ototoxicityโ, has been published. Here's a thread summarizing key findings and insights from this work.

How do our ears work? This question fascinated laureate Georg von Bรฉkรฉsy. To find out he painstakingly dissected structures that make up our inner ears, such as the tiny spiral-shaped cochlea, that transforms vibrations into neural signals for us to hear.

Excited to be involved in this study!
Is SGLT2i-DKA mediated by genetic factors? Not sure, but thank you to all of our study sites for recruiting patients. We are approaching 70% recruitment. After that we will do some fancy GWAS!! Text/call/sos/ring my doorbell if you want to learn more! @fs36r
