Congratulations on your award, Callum, a truly excellent talk and excellent work

Congratulations are also in order for Callum Hunt, having their work in data and methodology recognised as a runner-up!

Study title: 'Genomic Wide Insights into the Genes and Pathways Shaping Human Foveal Development: Redefining the Genetic Landscape for Foveal Hypoplasia'

Our annual scientific conference takes place tomorrow, and is available to stream online here: video.silverstream.tv/event/uX8pBS...

Join us for a day of innovation and discovery!

What a nice conference with such inspiring speakers @kottond.bsky.social @francypolverino.bsky.social @jennydickens41.bsky.social
Really enjoyed meeting old and new people in the genomics space!
Looking forward to the foreseeable progress in the field

Dr Emmanuel Adonyo joins us now for for his talk 'improving representation of African-ancestry populations in genetic association studies of lung function traits' #RespGen25

Professor Amadou Gaye joins us for our final talk of the day 'Harnessing genomic diversity to advance health equity' #RespGen25

Professor Amadou Gaye giving a great presentation this afternoon! #RespGen25

And that's a wrap on the Respiratory Genomics Conference 2025. Thank you so much to all our attendees for their time, thoughts and inspiration. We'll see you all again in 2027! #RespGen25

Consider myself fortunate to hear @kottond.bsky.social speaking at #RespGen25 today.

We're back from lunch and it's time for an exciting final session 'Global Perspectives and Translational Genomics'. Professor Ian Hall kicks us off with an update on his LMIC Nepal work. #RespGen2025

Dr Alex Williams joins us now for his talk 'genome-wide association study of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease' #RespGen25

Francesca's talk prompted a lot of engaging discussion within the group #RespGen25

Professor Tarja Laitinen joins us from the University of Helsinki to give an update from her talk at our 2023 conference 'genetic determinants in the development of severe asthma among Finnish patients' #RespGen25

Dr Jing Chen joins us now for her talk 'multi-ancestry polygenic risk scores for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease improve transferability across diverse populations' #RespGen25

Lots of collaborations and networking happening in our poster room today. Some excellent abstracts! #RespGen25

Junsun in action! #RespGen25

Professor Francesca Polverino has joined us all the way from Baylor Medical College of Medicine to discuss multi-omics and disease pathogenesis. #RespGen25

The final talk for this session comes from Dr Junsun Yu, Harvard Medical School 'Lung tissue metabolite quantitative trait loci in COPD and IPF' #RespGen25

All smiles at the #NIHRLeicesterBRC Respiratory Genomics Conference today! #RespGen25

Loving this slide view of Jenny's talk! #RespGen25

Our next talk comes from Dr Aitana Alonso Gonzalez 'Polygenic risk scores improve patient prioritization for genetic testing in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis' #RespGen25

We're back for another wonderful conference day! First up we have a plenary talk from Dr Jenny Dickens, University of Cambridge, 'Studying mechanisms in familial pulmonary fibrosis using organoid models' #RespGen25

That concludes our first day of the Respiratory Genomics Conference. We will now head downstairs to view poster abstracts and we will be looking forward to our conference dinner this evening. #RespGen25

Stefano in action! #RespGen25

We've been fueled by lunch and now we're onto our final session of the day! Professor Stefano Guerra is talking to us about early origins of obstructive lung disease: the role of CC16 #RespGen25

Professor Lies Lahousse is joining us now from Ghent University to discuss pharmacogenetic modification of lung function decline #RespGen25

Dr Simon Biddie is now engaging the group with his talk 'the coding variant landscape of alternative isoforms' #RespGen25
