Australia has an amazing opportunity to use its Medical Research Future Fund to immediately supercharge healthcare innovation - to develop new medicines, new therapies, new cures. The economic and social potential for our country is huge.

Our latest paper understanding the functional consequence of #COPD GWAS variants is out @AJHGNews. Using #CRISPRi and #iPSC models we find that ADGRG6 exerts pleiotropic effects on type 2 alveolar epithelial cells, which is exacerbated by cigarette smoke exposure.
