Our latest study on the genetics of chronic cough is out! Here the link to the paper: publications.ersnet.org/content/erj/...

Our latest study uncovers genes linked to chronic cough, shedding light on the role of neuronal signalling and sensory pathways in driving cough reflex hypersensitivity. These findings deepen our biological understanding of chronic cough. Find out more here: le.ac.uk/news/2025/ju...

I am starting a computational lab at LIOS, Riga, Latvia, and going to recruit a few people. Please DM if you are interested in a postdoc or PhD position in my Metabolic Research Group within the TARGETWISE project. I can highly recommend Riga, it is a beautiful city with very good living conditions.

Are you aged 18-80 and from a South Asian or African/Caribbean background living with a long-term health condition? Share your experiences as part of a #PhD study exploring health within diverse communities. ✉️ Email Zara Kayani: [email protected] @ashrouten.com @ethnichealthres.bsky.social

We are excited to announce that tidypopgen – a new package for rapid population genetic workflows in R – is now available at evolecolgroup.github.io/tidypopgen/ 🧬💻 Read more in the preprint describing its features here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #popgen #Rpackage #genetics 1/2

The EXCEED team visited the Shama Women's Centre today to launch our new phase of recruitment. Huge thanks to all that attended and supported. @chiarabatini.bsky.social @hitenmistry1.bsky.social

Thank you #ESHG2025 for selecting our poster for the best poster session, and overall for a great few days of excellent science! @exceedstudy.bsky.social

Longstanding followers will know I have consistently tried to unpick concepts of race / ethnicity from genetics. TLDR; Race/Ethnicity - a self identification process about a categorical group is v different from the high dimensional variation in the genome despite a thin connection by visible traits

Register for our webinar on 23 April! We will introduce the capabilities and use cases of the Open Targets Platform, including our new variant, study, and credible set pages released last week 🧬🖥️ www.ebi.ac.uk/training/eve...

Open Targets Platform 25.03 is finally here! 🌼 This update brings in variant, study, and credible set information, uniting the Open Targets Platform and Open Targets Genetics into a one-stop shop for human genetic and target discovery information. blog.opentargets.org/open-targets...

This week, EXCEED's lead administrator celebrated 10 years in this role. Despite it being a busy week full of meetings, the EXCEED team can always find time for cake! 🍰Congratulations, Catherine!
