👉We worked with blood operators in three countries and showed that ML models accurately predict donors’ iron levels at donation.
👉This suggests that prediction models could be a valuable tool for personalizing policies that govern the frequency of blood donations.

I'm excited to share our latest work, now out in #PLOSGenetics! If you feel limited by linear models in TWAS or PWAS but don't think you can switch to nonlinear methods due to a lack of individual-level phenotype data, this paper is for you.

Do plasma proteins mediate obesity’s effect on CAD risk?
→Using two-step proteome-wide MR, domain-aware MR, epigenomics & scRNA-seq, we prioritized endotrophin, cleaved from COL6A3, as a mediator & potential therapeutic target.
