📣New from @tdrivas.bsky.social & co! 📄Racial and socioeconomic disparities in genetic evaluation and testing in the adult patient population

The perils of being a #geneticist — when I look at my adorable nephew’s bath towel, all I see is a vaso-occlusive crisis waiting to happen…

🧬 Thrilled to be at #ASHG2025 with my students Ekta Singh & Yunjun Kang who are sharing incredible science out of our lab on #cilia, #metabolism, #genetics & #MachineLearning - and to present my own new clinical data on #AdultGenetics. Come say hi! #ASHG #genetics #genomics

Yesterday at lab meeting we went around the table with introductions for a new student. Of the 7 people in attendance, I was the only one born in the USA. Diversity and immigration are what make America, and Science, great, and my heart breaks watching these pillars of our greatness crumble.

New research out in @ajhgnews.bsky.social suggests that the implementation of genetic testing in critically ill adults has the potential to improve patient care & combat healthcare delivery disparities ft Colleen Kripke & @tdrivas.bsky.social‬ (@pennmedicine.bsky.social) www.cell.com/ajhg/fulltex...

Thrilled to share that our latest study on genetic testing in critically ill adults at @pennmedicine.bsky.social is now published in The American Journal of Human Genetics (@ajhgnews.bsky.social) -- and was featured in @sciencenews.bsky.social!

Patience, collaboration, and perseverance pay off! Our investigation of the population prevalence of NF1 pathogenic variants is out today in @naturecomms.bsky.social! We find these variants are much more common than anticipated and confer increased risk for cancer. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It was heartening to see so many people standing up for #science today at #Philadelphia City Hall. At a time when it’s easy to feel powerless against a wannabe-fascist government, this was such an excellent reminder of where the real power lies — in the hands of the people. #standupfightback

2025 is here! I am so excited for Where Biology Ends and Bias Begins to be in readers' hands in just a few weeks. We have work to do, and I truly hope this book will help us move forward together. 🧬✊🏾🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
