La ciència transforma la #SalutPública: un estudi d'#ISGlobal ha contribuït a una resolució del Parlament de Catalunya. Es reconeix el vincle entre la qualitat de la #dieta i la depressió, i es promouran hàbits saludables en centres escolars i de #SalutMental. 🟠 https://f.mtr.cool/sbufhklhac

🧬A study identifies that the order and sequence of previous diseases may help predict the risk of developing long COVID Based on data +10,000 participants in the GCAT cohort and the #COVICAT study (with @isglobal.org) 📝 For more information, please visit the following link: bit.ly/study_BMC_GCAT

🚀Exciting news from GCAT! @xavifar.bsky.social, will be presenting his poster: “Sex-specific VEGFA Overexpression linked to Long COVID Persistence” at the JBI 2025 - Bioninformatic Symposium Conference in Madrid from October 22-24. Top by his poster and chat about the fascinating findings! 🌍🧬

As first author of our recent study on Long COVID, I’m proud to share key findings from our work at GCAT-IGTP, with support from IR Sant Pau and ISGlobal. We identified VEGFA as a central biomarker linked to persistent symptoms. Here’s the story! bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

If this was a drug, it would be a blockbuster prevention vs Alzheimer's disease for APOE4 homozygotes, with 35% reduction of risk!

Are electronic health records (EHR) more predictive of disease onset than polygenic scores? Can we transfer EHR-based prediction models between countries? Our study on these questions using 3 biobank-based studies with N>845K, is out in @natgenet.nature.com today: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Very excited to give a virtual talk as part of the @eshg.bsky.social webinar series tomorrow at 4pm (CEST). If you want to listen in, register here: wma.eventsair.com/eshg-webinar... I will talk about all the exciting things we can learn from GWAS summary statistics...

I am delighted to share with you some new insights into the selection processes that shaped the Spanish population!

My group at the @igtp.bsky.social is looking for a Junior Bioinformatician to help us work on several cancer genomics projects. We have funding for 2025 for this position, but will apply together for funding for a full PhD. Info and application: igtp.jobs.personio.com/job/2023198 or contact me! 😃

Mike spotted this before the rest of us. 🫡 Publications from 2025 are shared more on Bluesky than on X/Twitter.

Symptoms of long-COVID can last up to two years after infection with COVID-19. We found a higher prevalence of long-Covid (23%) than other studies probably because we are among the few large population based studes and we have longer follow-up. doi.org/10.1186/s129...

Clinical trials increasingly implement omics measurements in their assessments, offering biological insights and valuable resources for further research 🧬 This analysis of Somascan proteomics (7,289 aptamers) in 2 semaglutide trials (N=1,311 & 645) is worth a Sunday read 🧵1/8

Meanwhile in Catalonia...

Very interesting associations here

In a @currentbiology.bsky.social paper earlier this year, led by @laurawesseldijk.bsky.social, we analysed Beethoven’s genome with a polygenic index related to musicality, as a way to communicate limits of genetic predictions at the individual level & the complexity of links between DNA & behaviour:

If you like dark chocolate, you'll like this finding that it reduces the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes (not seen with milk chocolate) [in 3 large prospective cohorts, with the usual caveats of epidemiological, observational nutrition studies]

The joy of "open" science. Worth a read.
