Thanks, Oxford_IDRM and Department of Paediatrics! I really enjoyed reflecting on these questions, and I hope my experiences can be helpful to others. In the link below, I share my thoughts on overcoming challenges and what I've learned along the way!👇 #AdaLovelaceDay

This was such a wonderfully rewarding experience. Humbling to meet some of the wonderful families and to talk about what is known, what is not yet known, and how together we can drive progress ❤️🧬👭 Sarah Wynn

Congratulations again Ruizhi Deng! 🎉 It was a pleasure to be on your examination committee, and fun to experience the formalities of a thesis defence in the Netherlands. And thank you for hosting me in Rotterdam Stefan Barakat 💻🧬🤓

Thank you to the many clinicians, scientists, patients and families involved in the DDD study, Wellcome Sanger Institute Helen Firth Matt Hurles. A genetic diagnosis in rare diseases makes a huge difference to clinical management and patient outcomes, see: doi.org/10.1016/j.gimo…

I am delighted to share our work on regional nonsense constraint in human protein coding genes! Now on @medRxiv: medrxiv.org/content/10.110… A quick 🧵 on what we found!

Excited to share our nature paper introducing constraint metrics for #mtDNA! Constraint models are powerful tools that were missing for mtDNA—until now. By applying our model to #gnomAD, we reveal which sites in mtDNA are most crucial for health & disease nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited to report our study in NEJM on the discovery of deletions in a long noncoding RNA gene 🧬 (𝘊𝘏𝘈𝘚𝘌𝘙𝘙) as the cause of a newly defined human neurodevelopmental disorder 🧠. 🧵1/10 nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

At #ASHG24 #ASHG2024 and interested in non-coding variants in rare disease? I am speaking in the session "How do we describe and ascribe clinical significance to the non-coding genome?" bright and early tomorrow morning 🧬
