Today I passed my PhD viva with no corrections 😊🎉 a massive thanks has to go to the entire @CNGGcardiff psychosis department for all of their help and guidance, but particularly to my incredible PhD supervisors, @drjameswalters and @AFPopgen 😊

Open science does not open the science for all. APC are ludicrous for anyone in a LMIC, sometimes up to a yearly salary. Here Brazilian authors had their paper withdrawn because they couldn't pay Wiley's fee. – at Cardiff, Wales

We've written a piece (us and the Comms team @CNGGcardiff) on our latest clozapine study about ancestral differences and pharmacogenomics discovery: cardiff.ac.uk/news/view/2704…

📢I’m a bit late but really happy to share our latest paper now available in Biol Psych doi.org/10.1016/j.biopsych.2….
🧬💊In this work we try to address if the genetic susceptibility to schizophrenia impacts on how individuals are treated (dose) with the antipsychotic clozapine (1/6)

Don't miss out on the chance to hear from CNGG researchers @AFPopgen @DrKKendall @drjameswalters!
Join us in a two weeks for this fascinating event. Hear from @cardiffuni researchers about how genetics contribute to the risk of mental health conditions such as schizophrenia, psychosis and bipolar disorder. cardiff.zoom.us/webinar/regi…

🇪🇺👏 The @HorizonEU-funded project PSYCH-STRATA has officially started. Last week, the 26 partners gathered at the @WWU_Muenster 🇩🇪 to kick off the 5-years project.
Stay tuned, the work is just starting!

Congratulations to one of my wonderful supervisors 🎉 very well deserved
Its now official: Happy to share that I've been promoted to senior lecturer @CUmedicengage!
Career development in Academia can be *very* hard, more after moving, changing fields... I'm undoubtedly privileged. More thanks than I can fit here to my excellent colleagues @MRCcardiff!

Very happy to share our latest work on clozapine pharmacogenomics powered by the #CLOZUK study. I'm not great at Tweetorials (or, as many might confirm, at being succinct) but I'll try to highlight a few key points in my view...🧶 [1/10]

Bit of a Cardiff takeover this afternoon at #WCPG2022 with stellar presentations from @dbkappel talking about our @acmedsci Springboard project (#ProudPI), as well as @JMK_Yang, @drjameswalters (on behalf of Sophie Chick), and @EilidhFenner (not pictured). Well done all!!!
