  • The Killer Gene That FOUGHT BACK

    The Killer Gene That FOUGHT BACK
    Sep 29 2025

    In this deep dive, we break down the journey of the PIM Kinase target. We explore the complex PIM1 molecular mechanism, examine why first-generation pan-PIM inhibitors like AZD-1208 faced safety issues and a lack of monotherapy efficacy, and reveal the final clinical verdict of the Terminated and Completed Phase 1 studies.

    Disclaimer: This video is for educational purposes only and should not be used for medical diagnosis or treatment decisions. Always consult with healthcare professionals for medical advice.

    In this episode, we explore the association between the PEAR1 gene and various platelet disorders. Using data and research, we aim to explain the significance of platelet count and the effects of thrombocytopenia and low platelets in these conditions. This includes genetic analysis of the genome.

    KGWAS: novel genetics discovery enabled by massive functional genomics knowledge graph
    Sep 22 2025
    KGWAS is a novel geometric deep learning method that leverages a massive functional knowledge graph across variants and genes to significantly improve detection power in small-cohort GWASs. Thank you, Kexin Huang and Martin Jinye Zhang, for joining me on this one.Preprint:https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.11...GitHub Page:https://github.com/snap-stanford/KGWASOfficial Website:https://kgwas.stanford.edu/📖 Video Chapters:0:00 - Introduction to Rare Disease Genetics Problem0:54 - Welcome & Paper Overview1:22 - What is KGWAS?
