Great Open Targets collaboration with many others. It was started by Danish Memon while at EMBL-EBI. The MS work was by Marc van Oostrum Andrea Fossati Fabian Frommelt and others at IMSB_ETH. Additional work by IntAct at EBI team members.

📢 On World #IBD Day weekend Carl Anderson and I are delighted to introduce Open-IBD! £11M funding from Open Targets and Wellcome Sanger Institute Open-IBD will study serial multi-omics and longterm outcomes from diagnosis in 1,000 people with IBD More👇 opentargets.org/news/open-ibd-…
