📢 Exciting news from the IGTP Annual Symposium!

Natàlia Blay presented the poster: "Genetic determinants and health effects of disease trajectories in two population-based cohorts"

🌐 🚀 Stay tuned - the paper associated with the poster will be out soon, offering deeper insights!

🧬A study identifies that the order and sequence of previous diseases may help predict the risk of developing long COVID

Based on data +10,000 participants in the GCAT cohort and the #COVICAT study (with @isglobal.org)

🚀Exciting news from GCAT!

@xavifar.bsky.social, will be presenting his poster:
“Sex-specific VEGFA Overexpression linked to Long COVID Persistence” at the JBI 2025 - Bioninformatic Symposium Conference in Madrid from October 22-24.

Top by his poster and chat about the fascinating findings! 🌍🧬

As first author of our recent study on Long COVID, I’m proud to share key findings from our work at GCAT-IGTP, with support from IR Sant Pau and ISGlobal. We identified VEGFA as a central biomarker linked to persistent symptoms. Here’s the story! bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
