McGill Human Genetics is now on Bluesky! Follow us for updates on our department’s research, events, and achievements. Stay tuned for exciting discoveries!

I see lots of patients with obesity who develop heart attacks. Often they have normal cholesterol, blood pressure and glucose levels are normal. So why do they get heart attacks? We identified endotrophin as a mechanism whereby obesity causes heart disease. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Very exciting work from the newest recruit to the Dept Human Genetics at McGill!

A great collaboration led by @satoshiyoshiji.bsky.social , an impressive Assistant Professor at McGill University!

We’re hiring soon! 1–2 MSc positions, one PhD position (all fully funded), and a post-doc position will be available. Stay tuned and join us at McGill in the vibrant city of Montreal, Canada! Lab webpage: yoshiji-lab.org

📣Excited to share our paper in Nature Genetics! rdcu.be/d7mo0 Do plasma proteins mediate obesity’s effect on CAD risk? →Using two-step proteome-wide MR, domain-aware MR, epigenomics & scRNA-seq, we prioritized endotrophin, cleaved from COL6A3, as a mediator & potential therapeutic target. A 🧵↓

Excited to fly to South Korea to give a talk on using proteomics and genomics to understand complex traits and identify drug targets! Very grateful to the Korean Society of Medical Genetics and Genomics for the invitation. Join us at KSMGG&EAUHGS2024 on Dec 6 at Symposium 4.

We're looking forward to hearing @satoshiyoshiji.bsky.social speak @broadinstitute.org MPG this morning as part of Jason Flannick's overall lab seminar

I’ll be speaking (virtually) at the Medical and Population Genetics Seminar @broadinstitute.org tomorrow at 9:30 AM with Dr. Jason Flannick and colleagues. If you’re at the Broad, please join us!
