Excited about our new preprint: 1st successful genome-wide study of >61,000 panic attack and 29,000 panic disorder cases. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... We find 17 associations & evidence that peripheral neurons in eye, lungs and heart are involved in panic & other psychiatric disorders 1/n

The crush of new grant cancellations hasn't let up. If your grant was terminated (or your app was pulled) please use this Google Form👇 to submit details for tracking purposes. Multiple advocacy efforts are moving forward, but we must must must know more about what grants were cancelled and why.

🧵Yesterday, I received notice that my #NIH grant, on the social environment, lifecourse, epigenetics & #birthoutcomes in Black families, was terminated. This grant represented a critical effort to address the ⬆️ rates of maternal & infant mortality in the US, particularly among Black mothers & babies

We literally have a Trump clone in power for almost 2 decades, the only thing people should learn from Hungary is to NEVER be like Hungary. Even after our PM resigns there's practically nothing left from the country as they destroyed all public services & privatized everything...

One (out of many) experience I think about often is with a Columbia professor at SOBP in 2022. He didn’t ask about my research, just “Where is lunch?”. When he learned I worked at Yale, he said I didn’t have a “Yale accent” and that he only knew where Hungary was because of the “many addicts”.

🍰 Esmorzar solidari per la investigació de l'endometriosi, organitzat per diversos investigadors,entre elles la @dorakoller.bsky.social @geneticsub.bsky.social 📍Clúster II #ParcCientíficBarcelona 📆11 Març 🕘9:30-11:30 🍪 Tots els fons recaptats aniran destinats a l’Hospital Clínic a través #Endofest

El proper dimarts el #PCBakers dedicat a la recerca per l'Endometriosi. Totes les contribucions aniran per a l' #Endofest i per a la recerca que es fa a l'Hospital Clínic. Gràcies Bet @efigbo.bsky.social per organitzar-ho!!!! @www.pcb.ub.edu

#PCBCommunity |🔬Una #recerca amb l' @ibub-ub.bsky.social aporta noves evidències sobre la relació entre l’ #endometriosi i l’impacte del #trauma. ♀️ Els resultats podrien servir per a millorar la detecció precoç d'una malaltia que afecta 190 milions de dones en el món 💜 ➕ info 👉 tinyurl.com/2698puht

I am from Hungary, I have seen this before. This is Orbán’s playbook on a larger scale. He has been in power for 15 years, and among many other things, his government has taken over academic institutions. Now science is in crisis, and researchers can’t receive EU funds. Terrifying times for the US.

So happy to see this article out now and have gotten to contribute to it! Please go give it a read!

📢 Un estudi internacional en què hi participen les investigadores Dora Koller i Marina Mitjans @geneticsub.bsky.social ha trobat noves proves que vinculen les experiències traumàtiques i els esdeveniments estressants amb l’endometriosi. 🔗 Més info: web.ub.edu/web/actualit...

New findings indicate a significant link between traumatic experiences and endometriosis, suggesting trauma may influence the disease's development independently of genetic predisposition. doi.org/g834rn

I am so excited to share our new study published in @jama.com Psychiatry! Including >240,000 women (>8,000 patients with endometriosis), we found that patients reported more childhood and adulthood traumatic experiences. @renatopolimanti.bsky.social @lokhammer.bsky.social

Ah, the millennial experience of “every time you get some measure of financial and career stability, the world decides to do something extraordinarily stupid again”

The NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health was created in 1990. Women’s health issues didn’t exist before then. (actually most people just didn’t care) I’m sure the website is down because we’ve solved all those problems. /s

After over a week here in 🦋 it is worth making this my first post! Wonderful screening of the film @belowthebelt.bsky.social + fantastic talks by #endometriosis experts at @biologiaub.bsky.social Thanks @dorakoller.bsky.social for organizing it and providing such a crucial space for so many women!

So thrilled to share that we’ve received a grant from Fundació La Marató de TV3 to advance precision therapy for endometriosis using PGx! Our aim is to move beyond the "one-size-fits-all" approach, cutting delays in finding effective treatments and reducing side effects for patients. #endometriosis

A sobering empirical piece in JAMA. Homicide has long been THE LEADING CAUSE of maternal/peripartum death. Here they show: * restrictions on divorce * restrictions on abortion… both correlate with pregnancy homicide (albeit differently, depending on age/race) 🛟🩺 jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Hello! I have this profile since several months, but this is my first post. I work in the intersection of women’s health, chronic pain, and psychiatric genomics. I am also interested in pharmacogenomics-guided precision medicine. I hope to find a community here!
