Today, my two MSc students did their viva. Before that, a member of the viva committee (which I've never met before) entered into my office and told me: "I have read your students' thesis, and I've liked them a lot. Congratulations!" It made my day! #proudsupervisor 👨‍🏫

Researchers in #ScienceTranslationalMedicine have uncovered several new putative risk genes for #AlzheimersDisease involved in innate and adaptive immunity, according to a proteome-wide association study of cohorts of people of European American and African American ancestry. https://scim.ag/4vch0F0

Alzheimer’s disease proteome-wide association study implicates adaptive immunity and identifies risk genes LILRB1 and SIRPA

The integration of large-scale proteomic and genetic data identified 18 Alzheimer’s disease risk genes acting through regulation of blood proteins.

New paper with Samir Suweis, Amos Maritan & Sandro Azaele! We show that experimental settings shape interaction measures between species, and can even produce sign switches as protocol artifacts. This points to better ways to design these experiments 👀⬇️. journals.aps.org/prxlife/abst...
