New Scientific Reports article lead by IBG graduate student @eamonnduffy.bsky.social and faculty member Marissa Ehringer finds genetically divergent rat strains differ in oxycodone self-administration and effects on gut microbiome. Congrats to the team on this work! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Congratulations to IBG members Ana Howard and Dan Gustavson who partnered with students from Northglenn High School to engage community partners and make research more meaningful and engaging. You can read more about this great program here: www.colorado.edu/asmagazine/2...

New Nature Communications paper from IBG graduate student Jeremy Lawrence describes high genetic overlap across 73 physical illnesses (e.g., cancers, heart failure, pneumonia) and internalizing, substance use, and neurodevelopment disorders.🧬 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New article published in Addiction and lead by IBG postdoc @lydiarader.bsky.social identifies transdiagnostic genetic overlap between general chronic pain and addiction risk, along with substance-specific pathways. doi.org/10.1111/add....

New paper out today in Nature from IBG faculty @andrewgrotzinger.bsky.social and the PGC Cross-Disorder Group. They take a multi-method approach to parse shared and unique genetic signal across >5 million controls and >1 million cases for 14 psychiatric disorders www.nature.com/articles/s41...

IBG is saying a fond farewell to former postdoc @isyfoote.bsky.social. Isy was an invaluable asset to the institute in her time here. She is a Wellcome Trust Fellow and new faculty Queen Mary University of London. We can't wait to see what comes next for this exceptionally bright scholar 🧠🧬!

New work in Nature Genetics from IBG members lead by @isyfoote.bsky.social (along with @andrewgrotzinger.bsky.social) examining different measures of frailty using Genomic SEM. Findings reveal six genomic factors with unique biological pathways and clinical correlates. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
