PrecisionLife and Ovation identify first genetic biomarkers to quantitatively predict GLP-1 efficacy response PrecisionLife and Ovation identify genetic biomarkers to predict GLP-1 response and expand their partnership to develop precision prescribing tools.

Very excited to see how fast these insighgts emerge with top quality data from @precisionlife.bsky.social partner Ovation.

Fantastic @daphnezohar.bsky.social men and women advocating for and celebrating women. Greatly needed in an era of anti - woke/DEI/Science. Leaders that bring common values and vision and to achieving the goal of finding news cures. Wear pink one day, pack a pink perspective every day.

Wear pink Tues Jan 13th at #JPM26 to recognize impact of women leaders & allies in bio. Wear a pink shirt, tie or socks if you donโ€™t own a pink blazer. We had an incredible turnout at inaugural event at #JPM25 w/ pink visible throughout the streets of SF. Join group pic at 4pm #BiotechCEOSisterhood

Identification of Novel Reproducible Combinatorial Genetic Risk Factors for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis in the DecodeME Patient Cohort and Commonalities with Long COVID Background: Myalgic encephalomyelitis (also known as ME/CFS or simply ME) has severely impacted the lives of tens of millions of people globally, but the disease currently has no accurate diagnostic t...

Delighted how @precisionlife.bsky.social and @actionforme.bsky.social et al used consented @decodemestudy.bsky.social data to
-replicate #MEcfs genetic signal &
-show its shared/distinct genetics with Long Covid.
Next: replicate ME/CFS subtypes w/ targeted therapies

Using DecodeME and other datasets, LOCOME has identified a number of genetic signals and biological pathways that may be involved in ME.

New myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME, also known as ME/CFS) genetics study reveals 250+ core genes, shared mechanisms with long COVID, and dozens of drug repurposing opportunities. This would not have been possible without the thousands of people with ME who contributed their data.
Thank you.

Please thank your daughter - My colleagues @precisionlife.bsky.social have a collaboration with @decodemestudy.bsky.social and @actionforme.bsky.social
We have also found genetic signals in @ukbiobank.bsky.social and hope to replicate them in the DecodeME dataset. Her spit powers progress.

Exciting to see interest in developing more tools to interrogate the proteome. Work using @ukbiobank.bsky.social proteomics data by @precisionlife.bsky.social is showing that for some of our biggest healthcare challenges there is more predictive signal in the proteome for disease risk than DNA. ๐Ÿ‘
