New year, exciting things ahead

Once of my resolutions will be to actually update this site at a reasonable rate...

Workwise, on the immediate horizon are:

- lots of new GWAS significant candidates for schizophrenia will be published by the Swedish Schizophrenia consortium and then later by the PGC (psychiatric GWAS consortium)

- the Swedish group are also working on copy-number variation in about 11,000 individuals. Some interesting results have emerged so far but we're a few months off a viable paper. Stay tuned.

(follow @codushlaine on Twitter for work updates)

Otherwise:

- some big motorcycle trips planned - Ohio and Atlanta

- I'm the best man for my brother's wedding in August, in Poland, whoohoo!

Long time...

Yikes, I haven't updated in a long time. Work going well. Exciting conference in Hamburg a month ago where we saw how successful GWAS was becoming for SCZ in particular. An example is below, highlighting emerging genomewide significant loci in schizophrenia over just 3 years!
