The advert is officially live and you can apply online here: tinyurl.com/yd5bsvfb

📢 Our lab is looking for a bioinformatics postdoc. We have lots of exciting projects to work on, including single cell (epi-)genomics, microglia xenotransplantations and nanopore long reads splicing analysis. Look out for the official advert next week and get in touch in the meantime 🧬🧠

Excellent explainer by @philipcball.bsky.social on why now more than ever scientists need to resist the logic of "anticipatory obedience" www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/scie...

Thank you to @ukdri.ac.uk Group Leader @sj-marzi.bsky.social for joining us today & for her great talk on ‘Gene regulatory signatures of pesticide exposure in in vitro and in vivo models of #Parkinson’s disease @kavlioxford.bsky.social @oxforddpag.bsky.social @sophielfarrow.bsky.social

📢 CUT&Tag version 3 Sometimes the preprint to paper route can be quite the odyssey. And so in that vein, we are delighted to give you version 3 of our CUT&Tag optimization and benchmarking manuscript: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

If you know anyone who's looking for a PhD in neurodegenerative diseases with a focus on data science and epidemiology, this scheme looks great. I would be happy to supervise projects in the Global Health Innovation stream. liss-dtp.ac.uk/applying-to-...

Newest lab member 🤩

Just in time for the holidays, we are thrilled to give you the latest preprint from our lab: Unique nigral and cortical pathways implicated by epigenomic and transcriptional analyses in a rotenone rat model of Parkinson's disease doi.org/10.1101/2024...

Couldn't agree more with Paul Nurse that “Research institutes and units play a unique, beneficial role in the UK’s RDI landscape and this sector should be expanded....” So the MRC should rethink their regressive decision to close MRC Units. www.science.org/content/arti...

Huge congrats to the neurogenomics labs' brilliant most recent doctor @al-murphy.bsky.social 🥳

Fantastic bioinformatics PhD opportunities in the DRIVE Health CDT at KCL. Including two exciting projects on (epi-)genomics in ALS supervised by Ahmad Al Khleifat and me. Apply by 30 January 👇 drive-health.org.uk/projectpages... www.drive-health.org.uk/projectpages...

Best of times at the neurogenomics Christmas celebration last night 🥰🎄⭐️

Note that both @selinawray.bsky.social and I managed to match the lecture theatre furniture with our outfits today 😅😎

So excited that our work on predicting gene expression from histone modifications using deep learning is out in NAR today. Brilliant to work with lead author @al-murphy.bsky.social and collaborators Aydan Askarova, @borislenhard.bsky.social and Nathan Skene 🧬⭐️🙏 academic.oup.com/nar/advance-...

A full lecture theatre to hear @sj-marzi.bsky.social talk this lunchtime! 🤩

Two fantastic days of collaboration meetings in Exeter. Lots of exciting progress on our cell type specific epigenetic maps for #Alzheimer’s disease in the Brains for Dementia Research cohort🧬🧠

Excited to see that the science community is being brought back to life here ✨ I'm Kitty, a postdoc in the lab of @sj-marzi.bsky.social, UK DRI @ King's College London, focused on cell type-specific epigenetic variation in neurodegenerative disorders 🧠 P.S. I will be on the 2025 job market. 1/2

PhD opportunity: If you're interested in how astrocytes and the meninges talk to each other and how this is affected in dementia come do your PhD with us in Edinburgh (cc: Karen Horsburgh and Ingo Schiessl)! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

🧠Sharing this Starter Pack again as the list has now reached 80 people! A great mix of Profs/PIs/Post-docs/PhDs/Technicians. Please re-post so it can reach a wider audience as I'm sure there are more of us out there ☺️🦋 go.bsky.app/S6FfsTp

Check out this excellent new paper from @al-murphy.bsky.social in the Skene lab @ukdri.bsky.social: a new deep learning approach to predict effects of genetic variants on the #epigenome in previously unseen cell types 🧬👇

Microglia community, let’s start the discussion 🧠 follow the Microglia Starter Pack and ask @mancusorenzo.bsky.social to add your colleagues as they join Bluesky 🦋 go.bsky.app/DT3Cp4A

Excited that my work bestie @nottalexi.bsky.social has joined the blue site. Anyone interested in epigenomics, brains and neurodegeneration, give him a follow 🧠🧬👇

Join us on 17-18 March in Miami (or online) to discuss all things ApoE and lipid biology in AD 👇

One of our favorite Band Tee pics! 👏 🎸

Cool new preprint on how to make human astrocytes with distinct shapes and functions from Andrea Serio's lab @kingsioppn.bsky.social and contributions from @liddelowsa.bsky.social and our team ⭐️🧠🧬 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
