Immersed yesterday in the ever expanding depth&breadth of projects @IMBatUQ Human Studies Unit- our MND team is lucky to have/be supported by this incredibly knowledgeable team- ~10k genotyping arrays is just a small snapshot of the research data generated across Australia/NZ!

Are you a person living with #ALS #MND? If so, please consider completing this survey on what technology should look like to support you, and guide the direction of future research.
What technology could help improve daily life for those living with #MND? We'd like to better understand the daily challenges to guide the development of new technologies and inform our future research and investment. Share your thoughts in our survey: https://t.co/0ntuTIyU1b

Published today, our reasons for optimism that success rates in drug discovery can be improved by picking the right targets using human genetics: https://t.co/kgh9q05buE I break the key findings down panel by panel in this thread: https://t.co/5h6q4EYYrw
Is having even more gene-disease associations still useful for picking drug targets? For which types of programs does it matter? Has pharma shifted focus towards genetically validated targets? New paper by me, @mnelsonxy, @DongCoco90417, & @jivecast

Some THM: “Today - If I had the genetic information on an individual- I would be able to give actionable health information 70% of the time — Genetics is a major risk factor for all the common diseases and cancers For many - it is the most important risk factor”
