Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a debilitating, immune-mediated disease which causes inflammation of the joints between the vertebrae, leading to stiffness, pain, and eventually fusion of the spine. The underpinnings of AS are highly complex and span genetic, environmental, and immunologic factors. Insights from proteomic analysis helps with mapping risk factors and identifying potential therapeutic targets.  In this GEN webinar, our expert speaker, Nicholas Harvey, PhD, will present findings from the largest genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of AS to date, integrating data across diverse ancestries (e.g. European, East Asian, Turkish, and Iranian) and multiple omic layers, including the transcriptome, proteome,…

Scientists born and based in Latin America — and other historically colonized countries, often referred to as the global south — are familiar with many barriers, including limited funding; reading, writing and communicating their research in a language that isn’t their first;…
