Working with @zaminiqbal.bsky.social is a highlight of my time at EMBL-EBI. He's an excellent storyteller and can make even the most technical topics accessible! Listen to him explaining bacterial evolution using griffins 🦁🦅 (from minute 12). #scicomms #AMR

Very cool AI tool can predict individual risks for over 1000 diseases, based on healthcare data. An interesting proof of concept for what AI in healthcare could look like. The work was done at @ebi.embl.org and @dkfz.bsky.social. Check out this great write-up by @vickyhatch.bsky.social! #AI

Great write-up by my colleague @vickyhatch.bsky.social on the Federated EGA - a new model for secure access of sensitive genomic data. This type of data infrastructure is key for precision medicine.

Can a concept from aerospace engineering ✈️ help rare disease research? Scientists are working to build ‘digital twins’ of patient tissues to understand the mechanisms of disease & explore treatments. The project is looking for partners & specialists. www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/t... #MLSky

(1/2) On Rare Disease Day, we’re highlighting EMBL's molecular biology research & services in this area. Check out our collection of stories: www.embl.org/news/tag/rar...

EMBL-EBI is part of the Solve-RD consortium, a project for rare disease data collection and harmonisation

Scientists identified a novel mechanism driving osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer in children, to help predict patient outcomes.

Visual metaphor showing the transport of vitamin B1 in the body.

Structural biologists revealed how mutations in a key protein cause vitamin B1 deficiencies in the brain, leading to rare neurological diseases.

Always impressed with the vision and drive of @embl.org's PhD students! Really enjoyed speaking to Francesco about his work and what he thinks are the barriers and opportunities for protein design.

Bet you didn't know that #metabolomics can be used to verify the provenance of Cabernet Sauvignon! Just one of the many things I learned interviewing biocurator and team leader Claire O'Donovan 😊 @ebi.embl.org

Does anyone have recommendations of Bluesky accounts or feeds to follow to get the latest Formula 1 news and gossip? Twitter has been pretty good at serving these up so far but it would be nice to build up a back-up ...just in case 😅
