Great review by Anna Hutchinson Jennifer Asimit Chris Wallace 🇪🇺 🏳️🌈 on fine-mapping that covers methods for multiple causal variants and multiple outcomes, multi ancestry meta-analysis and incorporating additional layers of functional annotation data doi.org/10.1093/hmg/dd…

New Preprint! We are excited to introduce Flashfm (Flexible and Shared information Fine-Mapping) It uses summary-level data to jointly fine-map association signals for multiple quantitative traits @NBanadik Chris Wallace 🇪🇺 🏳️🌈 Inês Barroso Jana Sönksen and others Medical Research Council MRC Biostatistics Unit


Great to see our paper out in Human Molecular Genetics entitled: Higher adiposity and mental health: Causal inference using Mendelian Randomisation Exeter Med School academic.oup.com/hmg/advance-ar…

Exciting PhD opportunity genetics, obesity, mental health and neurodevelopment multimorbidity !!! Award details | Funding and scholarships for students | University of Exeter with Inês Barroso Nicholas Timpson and Prof Van den Bree #ExeterDiabetes #obesity exeter.ac.uk/studying/fundi…

Excited to share our work Nature Communications – flashfm uses summary-level data to jointly fine-map signals of up to six traits. #MultiTrait #GeneticStudies #ExeterDiabetes nature.com/articles/s4146…

Excited to see our multi-trait fine-mapping method out today! @NBanadik, Jana Sönksen, Paul Newcombe, Manj Sandhu, Inês Barroso, Chris Wallace 🇪🇺 🏳️🌈

This study introduces flasfm, a method for general quantitative multi-trait fine-mapping that allows for related individuals and missing trait measurements. go.nature.com/3GhKE3k Jennifer Asimit @NBanadik Chris Wallace 🇪🇺 🏳️🌈 Inês Barroso Jana Sönksen MRC Biostatistics Unit Medical Research Council Exeter Med School



Had a great time at the #SGGD_2022 learning about so much inspiring research and presenting our poster on fine-mapping & gene prioritising of glycaemic traits Inês Barroso Jennifer Asimit ExeterDiabetes


Excited to share my first first author paper, identifying upregulation of WNT signalling as a driver of motor neuron (MN) degeneration in #ALS (1/4) Link: cell.com/stem-cell-repo… LSI Exeter Bhinge Lab🧠 Exeter Med School StemCellReports Motor neuron disease


Took the lab to the pub and shared the buzz around using flies for diabetes research! bit.ly/3SxcrSd SidmouthScience Fest ExeterDiabetes
