Here's my blog explaining why apoE is responsible for most Alzheimer's disease, and the main reason (of several) why this has been overlooked. It is based on this research: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

And I have updated extensive FAQs on the research here: github.com/dylwil/ad_apoe…

Great podcast from James Lathe and Matthew Iasiello on 'We MASSIVELY undervalue mental health' on Researching Happy. open.spotify.com/episode/2Uewan…

Our new pre-print providing a theoretical basis for reservoir pressure in arteries

Our research shows that brachial measurements substantially overestimate aortic systolic blood pressure in adolescents and might result in an overdiagnosis of hypertension during screening journals.lww.com/jhypertension/…

OUT TODAY!!! Editorial on ancestry/ ethnicity/ race and cardiometabolic disease inequalities. Working with stellar colleagues has been brilliantly informative & thought-provoking 🌟 Nish Chaturvedi MRC LHA @ UCL gibran hemani Sarah Watkins Aylwyn Scally george davey smith 🔗 + 🧵👇

Thank you for letting me be part of a session with such knowledgeable experts from UCL
MRC LHA @ UCL & CONV deep pheno team: you are credited also in this photo!
It felt a bit intimidating to speak for many people & being the non-native speaker. Let me know if anything wasn't clear :)

📽️Missed our recent webinar tour of CLOSER Discovery, our comprehensive research tool for UK #longitudinal population studies?

The video is now available for you to catch up on how to browse, search and explore questionnaires and datasets: youtube.com/watch?v=GbANo7…

It is a great honor to be recognized with this esteemed award by American College of Cardiology at #ACC24 !

I will be forever indebted to my UCL Institute of Cardiovascular Science/MRC LHA @ UCL mentors Gabriella Captur, James moon, and Alun Hughes!

📢So it's not all bad news for Apo-E...

#whyCMR #echofirst in 37,000 people find better myocardial performance in APOE ε4 carriers‼️

...little wonder this ancestral allele has persisted in human populations😌

Great to see the #VascAgeNet awareness events, animations and Science Buddy programme featured in this COST feature. Find out more here ➡️ cost.eu/science-commun…

Thank you COST for inviting me to represent VascAgeNet at your Science Communication workshop. I really enjoyed speaking to the new action coordinators about all of the amazing things that the VascAgeNet team have achieved over the past 4 years. It’s been a lot of fun!

Amidst the coverage of blood based biomarkers, our latest MRC LHA @ UCL Insight 46 paper published Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry — hearing impairment is associated with increased rates of brain atrophy, independent of amyloid and vascular pathology jnnp.bmj.com/content/jnnp/e…

Good to see #longitudinal research using data from the MRC LHA @ UCL 1946, Centre for Longitudinal Studies 1958 & 1970 British cohort studies and TwinsUK research cited in this new The Guardian feature exploring how the #COVID19 pandemic has affected every UK generation.

Great couple of days representing MRC LHA @ UCL at #ARUKConf24 with Dylan Williams, Caterina Felici, and Dr Sarah-Naomi James 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

So glad we all found the time to take this definitely not photoshopped photograph together!

...any Qs after reading these, polite feedback welcome (still no trolling plse!). Big thanks to coauthors Neil Davies Dr Emma Anderson and many others who have commented MRC LHA @ UCL & elsewhere, inc Clare Wilson for shout-out in New Scientist last week!
