Heading to Boston for the American Society of Human Genetics #ASHG25 @geneticssociety.bsky.social! Excited to present our work on how pervasive exposure-by-polygenic score interactions can inform more effective clinical and behavioral interventions. #B1070W

Pleased to have contributed to this paper out at @nature.com today from @vw1234.bsky.social and Yira (Xinhe) Zhang showing that the common variant contribution to autism varies substantially by age of diagnosis www.nature.com/articles/s41.... Critical for understanding heterogeneity in autism.

The age that autism is diagnosed may partly reflect underlying biological and developmental differences among individuals with autism, according to a study in Nature. go.nature.com/4gQ5gSV 🧬 🧪

Excited to share our latest manuscript on "Dual exposure-by-polygenic score interactions highlight disparities across social groups in the proportion needed to benefit" with Greg Gibson (@genomestake),

Lots of interesting discussions on polygenic risk scores and their implementation @HarvardPqg - Diversity in Genetics and Genomics.

This year has been special - my doctoral graduation ceremony with my advisor and mentor, Greg Gibson (@genomestake ) and my family 🙂

Honored to be selected as the Postdoctoral Semifinalist for 2022 Charles J. Epstein Awards for Excellence in Human Genetics Research for #ASHGef="/hashtag/ASHG22" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link">#ASHG22! Plus, our abstract has been selected as the Reviewer's Choice abstract 😀 #ASHG @GeneticsSociety...

Very happy and excited to share the final study of my PhD out in @MolBioEvol. All results from this study can be explored through our Rshiny: https://canalization-gibsonlab.shinyapps.io/rshiny/

Reading @kph3k's wonderfully written "The Genetic Lottery", while beginning the journey to write my PhD thesis🙂
Any tips and suggestions as I embark on this journey are welcome!
