Happy European human geneticist enjoying life in the United Kingdom. Love everything genomics, even married a genomicist..;)
#ESHRE2026 kicks off highlighting amazing scientific progress that have shaped the fertility field, published in #HumanReproduction Much more fertility research is needed and this requires funding. We have recently started a new charity, #FertilityResearchUK Contact me or visit booth A37
🎤 Just in: the first 2026 Press Release 🎤 ✔ European survey reveals broad support for fertility care, embryo research and genome editing, alongside opportunities for greater public engagement 👉 www.focusonreproduction.eu/press-releas... #ESHRE2026
Since 2018, the European Society of Human Genetics has been presenting the ELPAG Award. It is presented to honour a scientist having made an important mark in the field of Ethical, Legal and Psychosocial Aspects of Genetics. #eshg2026 ELPAG Award laureate: Anne Cambon-Thomsen (Toulouse, France)
The general feeling this #ESHG2026! Too many interesting talks in competing sessions! Happy to have the online option to revisit those I've missed.
Attend the Leena Peltonen Award lecture now at #eshg2026 with Nicola Whiffin from Oxford University and learn About her recent discovieries in rare diseases and the broader inclusion of non-coding variants in clinical genetic testing that led to the Leena Peltonen Award. Congratulations!
