Great time at the Respiratory Genomics Conference 2025 in Leicester! Inspiring talks from @kottond.bsky.social, @jennydickens41.bsky.social @francypolverino.bsky.social
Exciting to join as part of #Dickensteam with Jenny & @saraocana1.bsky.social -learning, connecting & sharing science! #RespGen25
Thanks so much for attending @saraocana1.bsky.social 😊
And that's a wrap on the Respiratory Genomics Conference 2025. Thank you so much to all our attendees for their time, thoughts and inspiration. We'll see you all again in 2027! #RespGen25
Professor Amadou Gaye joins us for our final talk of the day 'Harnessing genomic diversity to advance health equity' #RespGen25

Professor Om Kurmi joins us now to continue the discussions on LMIC Nepal work. #RespGen2025
We're back from lunch and it's time for an exciting final session 'Global Perspectives and Translational Genomics'. Professor Ian Hall kicks us off with an update on his LMIC Nepal work. #RespGen2025
Dr Alex Williams joins us now for his talk 'genome-wide association study of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease' #RespGen25
Francesca's talk prompted a lot of engaging discussion within the group #RespGen25
Professor Tarja Laitinen joins us from the University of Helsinki to give an update from her talk at our 2023 conference 'genetic determinants in the development of severe asthma among Finnish patients' #RespGen25
Dr Jing Chen joins us now for her talk 'multi-ancestry polygenic risk scores for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease improve transferability across diverse populations' #RespGen25
Lots of collaborations and networking happening in our poster room today. Some excellent abstracts! #RespGen25
Professor Francesca Polverino has joined us all the way from Baylor Medical College of Medicine to discuss multi-omics and disease pathogenesis. #RespGen25
Junsun in action! #RespGen25
All smiles at the #NIHRLeicesterBRC Respiratory Genomics Conference today! #RespGen25
The final talk for this session comes from Dr Junsun Yu, Harvard Medical School 'Lung tissue metabolite quantitative trait loci in COPD and IPF' #RespGen25
Up next we have Dr Ebrima Joof, from the University of Leicester, discussing genome-wide association studies of fibrosis to identify shared mechanisms of fibrosis across 12 organ systems #RespGen25
Our next talk comes from Dr Aitana Alonso Gonzalez 'Polygenic risk scores improve patient prioritization for genetic testing in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis' #RespGen25
Loving this slide view of Jenny's talk! #RespGen25
We're back for another wonderful conference day! First up we have a plenary talk from Dr Jenny Dickens, University of Cambridge, 'Studying mechanisms in familial pulmonary fibrosis using organoid models' #RespGen25
That concludes our first day of the Respiratory Genomics Conference. We will now head downstairs to view poster abstracts and we will be looking forward to our conference dinner this evening. #RespGen25
Professor Darrell Kotton takes the floor to talk to us about pluripotent stem cells in the era of respiratory genomics. #RespGen25
Dr Federica Michielin, from the Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, is here to give a talk on mechanical regulation of alveolar cell fate during lung development #RespGen25
Tessa Gillet, from University Medical Center Groningen, is here to talk to us about spontaneous remission of asthma. #RespGen25
Stefano in action! #RespGen25
We've been fueled by lunch and now we're onto our final session of the day! Professor Stefano Guerra is talking to us about early origins of obstructive lung disease: the role of CC16 #RespGen25
Dr Urszula Pawlicka-Deger is here to tell us about early and mid-career fellowship opportunities with Wellcome Trust #RespGen25
Professor Lies Lahousse is joining us now from Ghent University to discuss pharmacogenetic modification of lung function decline #RespGen25
