• Genetic mechanisms of resistance to chemotherapy in breast cancer

  Resistance towards chemotherapy is one of the main causes of treatment failure and deathamong breast cancer patients.The main objective of this project is toidentify genetic mechanisms causing some breast cancer patients not torespond to a particluar type of chemotherapy (epirubicin) while otherpatients respond very well to the same treatment. In the project wewill perform genome / exome sequencing of a selection of breast cancerpatients (n=30). These patients are drawn from a cohort where allpatients have recieved treatment with epirubicin monotherapy before surgical removal of alocally advanced breast tumour, and where all patients have beensubjected to objective evaluation of the response to thetherapy. Subsequent to sequencing, we will analyse the data andcompare with the clinical data for each patient (object response totherapy). The main aim being to identify mutations that are associatedwith resistance to epirubicin. Identification of mutations with strongpredictive value, may have a direct impact on cancer treatment sinceit opens the possibility for genetic testing of a tumour, and desicionon which drug is likely to work best, prior to treatment start.

• Lung Cancer Genetic Study Among Asian Never Smokers

  The Lung Cancer Genetic Study Among Asian Never Smokers includes data from four population-based studies conducted among Asian women: the Shanghai Women's Health Study (SWHS), the Hwasun Cancer Epidemiology Study (HCES1 and HCES2), the Female Lung Cancer Consortium in Asia (FLCCA, including sFLCA), and the Guangzhou Lung Cancer Study (GLCS). Shanghai Women's Health Study (SWHS): The SWHS is a population-based prospective cohort study of approximately 75,000 adult women who were recruited between 1997 and 2000. The cohort has been followed by a combination of record linkage and active follow-ups. Lung cancer patients identified in the SWHS and non-cases were included in the current study.Hwasun Cancer Epidemiology Study-Lung Cancer (HCES1 and HCES2): The HCES is a hospital-based case-control study whose goal is to identify factors of the cancer development and clinical progression in a Korean population. Included in this project were 299 female lung cancer cases from HCES2, who were diagnosed between April 2004 and February 2013 at Chonnam National University Hwasun Hospital, a cancer specified hospital in Jeollanam-do province, South Korea. Controls were randomly selected from women with no previous cancer diagnosis at enrollment in the Namwon Study and the Dong-gu study, ongoing community-based cohort studies in South Korea. A total of 1,103 controls (273 from HCES1 and 830 from HCES2) were genotyped by MEGA. Guangzhou Lung Cancer Study (GLCS): The GLCS is a case-control study including never-smoking women lung cancer cases and controls from Guangzhou, China.In this study, the DNA samples of 1,195 subjects from SWHS and GLCS were genotyped using whole exome sequencing (WES), and the DNA samples of 7,174 subjects from SWHS, HCES1, HCES2, FLCCA, and sFLCA were genotyped using the Multi-Ethnic Global Array (MEGA).

• The Human Phenotype Project (HPP) is a large-scale deep-phenotype prospective longitudinal and ethnically diverse cohort

  The Human Phenotype Project (HPP) is a large-scale deep-phenotype prospective longitudinal and ethnically diverse cohort and biobank that we established. To date, approximately 28,000 participants have enrolled in the study, with over 13,000 having completed their initial visit. The project is aimed at identifying novel molecular signatures with diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic value, and at developing AI-based predictive models for disease onset and progression. A unique feature of the HPP is its deep and longitudinal profiling that includes medical history, lifestyle and nutritional habits, vital signs, anthropometrics, blood tests, continuous glucose and sleep monitoring, imaging modalities and molecular profiling of the transcriptome, genetics, gut, vaginal and oral microbiome, metabolome and immune system. For several of these modalities, the HPP is the first or largest cohort of its kind. Our analyses of this data provide novel insights into the variation of phenotypes with age and ethnicity, highlighting the importance of having ethnically diverse cohorts and the need for establishing age-dependent norms. We demonstrate how the HPP can be used to unravel personalized molecular signatures of disease by comparison to patient-specific and disease-specific matched healthy controls. Leveraging the extensive dietary and lifestyle HPP data, we systematically identify associations between lifestyle factors and health outcomes. Finally, we present a multi-modal foundation AI model that is trained using self-supervised learning on diet and CGM data and outperforms existing methods in predicting future onset of disease. We extend this AI framework to integrate all data modalities of each subject as a continuous sequence of diverse medical events, creating a digital twin that can simulate interventions and predict health trajectories and outcomes.

• Parallel CRISPR Editing of Familial ALS Mutations

  Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provide a modeling system for human disease within the critical context of the human genome. CRISPR editing of iPSCs allows the construction of isogenic pairs where the cells have nearly identical genomes except for the desired edited change. Here, we used CRISPR editing on a healthy control line to generate three new isogenic iPSC lines that each contains a different familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (fALS) mutation (TARDBP[G298S/+], SOD1[G85R/+], and PFN1[G118V/+]). As controls for each mutation, we retained iPSC lines that went through the editing process but did not have the desired heterozygous mutation. We have also performed editing in a patient cell line with a hexanucleotide repeat in C9ORF72. This edit mutates a non-canonical start codon upstream of the hexanucleotide repeat. These edited lines have been used in three different studies:(1) In “Human sensorimotor organoids derived from healthy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis stem cells form neuromuscular junctions” (PMID: 34362895), we performed exome sequencing to confirm the absence of off-target CRISPR events. We also performed single-cell sequencing on sensorimotor organoids from a second healthy control iPSC line, which is deposited alongside the exome sequencing data.(2) In “iPSC motor neurons, but not other derived cell types, capture gene expression changes in postmortem sporadic ALS motor neurons (PMID: 37651231), we differentiated these isogenic lines into motor neurons, sensory neurons, cortical neurons, and astrocytes and then performed bulk RNA-sequencing. We then assessed similarities between fALS mutations, differences between cell types, and the capacity of iPSC modeling to capture differentially expressed genes in postmortem sporadic ALS motor neurons.(3) In "Blocking RAN translation without altering RNA foci rescues C9ORF72-related ALS/FTD phenotypes" (Jiang et al. 2025), we mutate a non-canonical start codon upstream of a hexanucleotide repeat in C9ORF72. This mitigates several phenotypes related to neurodegeneration.

• Collaborative Study of Genes, Nutrients and Metabolites (CSGNM)

  While many genetic and metabolic studies focus on understanding disease states, this genome wide association study (GWAS) was designed to understand the influence of genetic variants on circulating metabolites and factors in normal, healthy individuals. Over 2500 healthy, ethnically Irish college students attending Trinity College Dublin completed a health and diet questionnaire and provided a non-fasting blood sample to be used for genetic and metabolic analysis. The questionnaire was designed to collect information on age, sex, height, weight, medical conditions, smoking, dietary habits, and consumption of alcohol, fortified foods, and supplements. Extracted DNA was genotyped using the Illumina HumanOmni1-Quad Beadchip. Metabolites were measured using a number of methods and focused on those relevant to the folate/vitamin B12 pathway.

• Pharmacogenomics of Metformin Dose Response in T2DM Patients

  Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic and sometimes debilitating disease that affects millions of adults in the USA. Metformin is commonly prescribed for T2DM; yet some T2DM patients do not tolerate it or respond well. This pharmacogenomics study will examine response, as both change in T2DM patients' weight and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels, to different doses of metformin, by extracting this data from the electronic health record (EHR), for T2DM subjects taking metformin found by prescription orders in the EHR, and identified as cases with the EHR phenotype algorithm published by Kho et. al. in 2012 (PMID: 22101970 as part of the eMERGE (electronic Medical Records and Genomics; dbGaP phs000237, phs000297, phs000360, phs000368, phs000888, and phs000948) project.

• Synchronous patterning of hiPSC-derived CNS progenitors generates comprehensive axial spinal cord organoids (CASCOs) containing diverse motor neuron population

  Advancements in human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) culture have enabled the generation of spinal cord organoids (SCOs), though achieving distinct axial identities in spinal motor neurons (spMNs) along the rostro-caudal (RC) axis remains a challenge. By optimizing the timing and sequence of patterning factors, we developed a mixed stem cell model of rostral neural stem cells (NSCs) and caudal neuromesodermal progenitors (NMPs) to generate SCOs with enhanced spMN heterogeneity, including a wide range of axial identities and benchmarked this against commonly used protocols. Our approach, termed CASO (Comprehensive Axial Spinal Organoids), also incorporates endothelial networks and skeletal muscle to improve organoid complexity and health, offering a novel method to study spMN axial specification and model neurodegenerative diseases.
