In a new study, @hheyne.bsky.social and her team identified a Finnish-enriched missense variant in the SCN5A gene that acts like a natural lifelong cardiac sodium channel blockade, decreasing the risk of cardiac arrhythmias while also having some negative effects. hpi.de/en/article/h...

Check out our new article in #Circulation on an astonishing genetic variant in the ion channel #SCN5A that enables us to learn about #cardiac-arrhythmia and their treatment with sodium channel blockers. @finngen.bsky.social www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/... Congrats to @jwanner.bsky.social

I'm setting up my lab at @hpi.bsky.social, on the edge of vibrant Berlin! PhD/postdoc positions in AI for safe synthetic biology & infectious diseases (AMR), in collab with @melanianowicka.bsky.social. Apply by Feb 24: email [email protected] with “[Open-25]” in the subject. DM for details!

We’re excited to share that our paper on rapid molecular classification of brain tumors has just been published in Nature Medicine!

Check out this great talk by @franriss.bsky.social (PhD student in my lab) on "Comparing protein language models through embedding space comparison" in the famous MIA meeting. Thanks so much to Sumaiya Iqbal for co-supervising and hosting her at @broadinstitute.org www.youtube.com/watch?v=y747...
