The analogy of omics data normalization and cooking: some processing is usually necessary, overcooking makes it bland, highly over-processed foods are unhealthy, and the quality of the ingredients matters.

5-drug precision prescribing for people with type 2 diabetes is here Our model for optimising glucose lowering therapy using low-cost routine clinical features published in the Lancet today Paper: thelancet.com/journals/lan... Try the web tool here: diabetesgenes.org/t2-treatment/

recording a podcast on Friday and the one question I know in advance is "what's your favorite molecule and why?" #metabolomics #lipidomics #proteomics and now choose one from 10.000 😅

Scientists have developed an AI-powered tool that detects 64% of brain abnormalities linked to epilepsy that human radiologists miss. MELD Graph is an AI tool that could drastically change the care for 4 million patients. @kingslsm.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk. www.kcl.ac.uk/news/kings-n...

beautiful, are these their cousins from London?

🔥 Finally!! Starmer ready to offer Youth Mobility Scheme. 🙌🙌🙌

Metabolomic insight into the link of intermuscular fat with cognitive performance: the Health ABC Study #Geroscience #MassSpec link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Sweet, my collaborators managed to submit to ARPAH, and to add me as a collab, considering the difficult times submitting a grant is a win 4/10

I've been developing a semantic search tool that covers not just bioRxiv and medRxiv, but the entire PubMed database. This means you can search across a massive collection of biomedical research using keywords, questions, hypotheses, or even full abstracts. Try it out: mssearch.xyz

Looking forward to speaking in #cimm2025 & learning from fellow speakers, the program is amazing www.linkedin.com/posts/cmi-uc...

There doesn't seem to be much we can do to support our fellow scientists in the US but we can at least lobby for this important signal to the world

🚨Amidst all the uncertainty at NIH Welcome Leap just launched an important new $50M program in Women’s Health👩🏻‍🔬🧠 CARE focuses on the link between Alzheimer’s and perimenopausal hormonal changes wellcomeleap.org/care/ Note: full indirects! Please share widely to support women’s health 🙏🏼

Glucose, not insulin, associated w/ AD risk “…interesting results in how diabetes–related markers are causally related to brain health albeit the precise mechanisms through which postprandial hyperglycaemia increases AD risk and higher insulin preserves brain volumes warrant further research.”

BREAKING: NIH admits funding freeze is illegal, will resume issuing grants open.substack.com/pub/populari...

Monthly 10 pm calls for 3 years on a meeting with Alzheimer's investigators across the globe, finally a big grant through phase 2 in US but with the chaos is too complicated to add international PIs. UK & Canada PIs so far giving letters of support the same 🙌🏻. Would have been my grant 4.

Worth listening to Bill Gates on the biggest world challenges in this lighthearted podcast, mentions so much of our lab's research themes, Alzheimer's, obesity & the microbiome, AI for better healthcare 🦾 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

#WomenInScience day, unfortunately this scissors pipeline shows that many women leave. How can we support women? we need to appreciate their skills, knowledge, work & leadership style. ✂️ graph from Australia, #WomenInSTEM #ScienceForAll

Happy International Day of Women & Girls in Science! Today we're showcasing Jean Purdy's pivotal role in IVF development. Madelin, one of our Archivists, takes a look at one of Purdy's letters and explores what it shows about her groundbreaking research. 🎶Bensound #womeninscience #WomeninSTEM

Today, for International Day of Women & Girls in Science, I would like to pay tribute to my PhD supervisor Jo Peters. It's her funeral this afternoon- you can read a lovely tribute to her here www.har.mrc.ac.uk/news/profess... It's hard to overstate how supportive and kind she was 💔

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science 🧪👩‍🔬

Decimating the NSF would be an act of violence against USA competitiveness in science, technology and innovation. Have any of these people seen Shanghai lately? arstechnica.com/science/2025...

The clinical research charity, for which I'm a board member, designed a new call for 4th year PhD funds. I think that's such a brilliant idea, funds can do so much good at this point. What would you fund in the #dementia research space?

How much have we advanced in leadership for #WomeninSTEM and women in healthcare? I wonder how many men know about these biases onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

Taking non-invasive glucose tracking to the next level, using Raman spectroscopy, without any needles www.nature.com/articles/s42...

My collaborator in Italy is submitting an EU Network grant to find diagnosis of neuro disease with 2 hospitals, 3 unis, 2 small companies, my grant count continues... 3 out of 10

Do you know any free online courses on statistics applied to clinical data, univariate, multivariate and maybe linear mixed models for longitudinal data? if they use R or python to demo & visualize even better

I did a list of #WomeinSTEM working in #metabolomics & #lipidomics and #datascience please join or share with others, use it for conferences, media & networking, mentoring, supporting, anything that helps, 300+ women have joined docs.google.com/document/u/0...

“If the freeze is not stopped, I might lose my house." Some NSF-funded postdocs are having trouble paying rent and credit card bills because their salaries were paused this week, even though the federal funding freeze memo was rescinded. www.statnews.com/2025/01/30/t...

sorry to hear, I'm in denial with one of our #massspec instruments, its failure due to sabotage is too depressive for me to process, for now the instrument doesn't exist, until I can do something about it.

Riccardo Marioni showing his EpiScore results in the Generation Scotland, the cohort that we are also lucky to study for lipidomics & multiomics

AI agents to revise science, three agents that discuss from the PubMed publications 👀 who is famous reviewer 3? the angel who finds faults in everything 😇

interesting talk using 30 million publications in PubMed mined by an LLM AI assistant for more reliable information by Janet Piñeiro it also gives an evidence score & gives the publication code

Now a talk about the ugly history of genetics 😱 although those two guys look familiar

so many people in London interested in omics, I can't hear anything, this talk about precision nutrition by Tim Spector from Kings College my uni

Dear America Maybe you need an Independent SAGE right now? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Welcome immigrants from X interested in science to the friendlier skies of @bsky.app, as documented by a new @nature.com survey (but you already knew that 😉) "Bluesky is much better for science. There is much less toxicity, misinformation, and distractions." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Today the Trump admin abruptly and indefinitely terminated many of the activities of the National Institutes of Health, the $50B/year collection of agencies that power the US biotech and health ecosystems. Even if these orders were lifted tomorrow, the disruption would be enormous. Why care? 🧵
