We’ve reached a milestone, recalling the 350th and final volunteer for Dr. Stavroula Kanoni & Prof. Deloukas's study on polygenic cardiovascular risk. This research explores how genetic patterns impact heart disease, particularly in South Asians. Stay tuned for updates! #GenesAndHealth

We were honoured to have the Mayor of Rochdale, Cllr Shakil Ahmed, show support for Genes & Health at a Health & Wellbeing event with BACP. BACP plays a vital role in tackling deprivation & reducing health inequalities in British Bangladeshi, Pakistani & Kashmiri communities.

Why does Genes & Health focus on British Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities? These groups face some of the UK’s highest rates of diabetes, heart disease, and poor health, yet are underrepresented in genetic research. We’re working to close this gap and improve health outcomes. #Genesandhealth

Today on #InternationalMotherLanguageDay, we celebrate the power of language and understanding. At Genes & Health, we ensure language is never a barrier—our team speaks 4 languages, and study materials are available in Urdu & Bangla to make health research accessible to all. #GenesAndHealth
