Raynaud's Syndrome Genetics & Biology Uncovered Hanna M Ollila who led the study called it "a prime example of an approach where genetic GWAS-driven discovery is used to study disease pathomechanisms and identify several causal genes related to a disease". genomeweb.com/genetic-resear…

Two new chapters from my free online book in human genetics out this weekend! These complete Part 3 of the book, on human population structure and history: 3.3: Human prehistory [separate thread] 3.4: Ancient DNA: a genetic time capsule [this thread] web.stanford.edu/group/pritchar…

Viola Helaakoski (group Ollila) will defend her doctoral thesis "Elucidating Mechanisms Underlying The Relationship Between Sleep Disruption, Alcohol Use and Psychiatric Traits" on 4 Oct. Dr. Olivia Veatch KU Medical Center will act as the opponent. Welcome! helsinginyliopisto.etapahtuma.fi/Kalenteri/Engl…

Who would benefit from checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy for cancer? A machine learning model based on routine lab tests and basic clinical data outperformed FDA approved biomarkers (such as PD-L1) nature.com/articles/s4159… Nature Medicine from nearly 10,000 patients

During evacuations, health risks go beyond smoke. Viruses like flu, COVID-19, RSV & norovirus spread quickly in shelters. Stay safe w/ these tips: 😷 Wear a high-quality mask 🧼 Wash hands for 20 secs or use 60%+ alcohol sanitizer (but not 4 norovirus) 🤧 Cover coughs/sneezes

Finally online - sharing our findings that #Lyme disease bacteria can live in female reproductive organs for over a year and increase risk for gynecological disease!!! We found this increased risk in mice and humans! 😱 (thread below) medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to contribute to this collaborative effort digging into the biology of #Lyme disease and gynecological pathologies across multiple cohorts! 🧬🔬 Check out the new preprint: medrxiv.org/content/10.110… Michal Tal, PhD

Big congratulations to Dr. Tommi Strausz on a successful PhD defense on sleep bruxism aka grinding teeth during sleep. A pleasure to supervise such a thoughtful scientist — excited to see what’s next! FIMM HelsinkiUni #PhDDefense #SleepResearch #Bruxism #ProudSupervisor

I didn't have much hope that we'd find genetic determinants of long-COVID, but after years of work, Vilma Lammi, Tomoko Nakanishi, Hugo Zeberg and Hanna M Ollila made it happen! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Exciting to share our paper on genetics of #longCOVID with Vilma Lammi, Tomoko Nakanishi, Hugo Zeberg and many others! nature.com/articles/s4158…  HiLIFE_Helsinki University of Helsinki Mass General Brigham Research

Super exciting work by Jonathan Cedernaes and team. Short sleep is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and this paper dives into the mechanisms and biomarkers at molecular level!
