Last before lunch, we hear lightning talks from: @LucyDenly @Ludwig_Cancer @DVVavoulis @OxfordOncology Yi-Jhih Huang @OxfordOncology @lucygoudswaard @BristolCancer Learn more about their research at the poster session over lunch! #oxcode24

Check out our latest work exploring the role of circulating proteins in multiple myeloma risk using Mendelian randomization https://t.co/RLNFmtMg0q Huge thanks to @Science_Matt @EpiHazelwood @KateBurley6 @ProfSarahJLewis and Sally Moore. @mrc_ieu @BristolCancer @Myeloma_Society

Thanks to all the contributors on this paper. Laura Corbin, @nic_timpson @maddy_epi @MEJLean @BlazebyJ @ShazaZaghlool @ksuhre @HersIngeborg and others not on twitter! 4/4

With the new era of rich proteomic datasets, the ability to replicate signals across different study designs is really important in trying to identify effects which are driven by the phenotype of interest (in this case, BMI). 3/4

We also integrated Mendelian randomization estimates for the effect of body mass index (BMI) on plasma proteins in the INTERVAL study. Consistent effects across the three studies provided evidence for a causal effect of BMI on 6 proteins. 2/4

Nice to see our paper out in @SciReports. We used data from two weight loss trials (@ByBandSleeve and the Diabetes Remission Clinical Trial) to explore the effects on circulating proteins. https://t.co/jXGY28K8O9 1/4

Delighted to announce that a (partly) in-person Mendelian randomization conference will be back post-pandemic, in as-always sunny & friendly Bristol. 19 -21 June 2024. Look forward to seeing everyone there! On line available for those for whom needs must

Great to see @_andreicon's paper published in BMC Medical Genomics, which uses MR to look for risk factors of DVT https://t.co/0rqTfe2MGr @EmmaEVincent

Well deserved group to come second to 😉

Proud of our group in the MR hackathon today for performing an MR analysis and presenting it in a day! @MRC_Uganda @mrc_ieu

Best way to learn Mendelian Randomisation is on the Lake Victoria - Africa's largest lake by area, the world's largest tropical lake. This is how we do it in Uganda @MRC_Uganda with an excellent team of tutor from @mrc_ieu @lucygoudswaard @venexia @explodecomputer

Fantastic lecture delivered today by @venexia @mrc_ieu on the Basic concept of Mendelian Randomisation and One sample MR. The practical session lead by @lucygoudswaard @venexia Amanda Chong, David Hughes @explodecomputer @Chriskintu2021 better helps to undersatnd the concept

Day 2. Time for some one-sample Mendelian randomisation with @lucygoudswaard. @mrc_ieu @MRC_Uganda

Day 2 of our Mendelian Randomisation workshop started with an excellent lecture by @lucygoudswaard @mrc_ieu on the Causal inference in observation Epidemiology. @MRC_Uganda

Really excited to be organising a Mendelian Randomisation workshop this week in Uganda @MRCUganda and @LSHTM to address the training needs in analysing large-scale genomic data in Africa Very lucky to have an excellent team of tutors from @mrc_ieu @BristolUni @explodecomputer
