The Sudmant lab at UC Berkeley is seeking a postdoc to work on a fully funded NIH project to understand differences in DNA repair and somatic mutation across the primate tree of life. Please spread widely to those who may be interested aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF05052

I am thrilled to announce that in January 2026 I will be starting my own lab at NYU Biology! Soon enough I will be recruiting postdocs and students! Please reach out if you are interested with a CV and description of your research interests, or if you know of people who could be interested! 🧬🗽 🦊

Thrilled for your next adventures Manny! PSA - Manny is already a seasoned mentor, a super creative and engaged scientist, and a thoughtful and caring colleague. A great opportunity for any grad student / postdoc / technician / undergraduate!

I'm proud to announce that the Vazquez Lab will officially be opening its doors at Penn State in August 2025! The lab will be studying the evolution of longevity-associated traits and the gene regulatory networks that govern them across extraordinarily long-lived mammals at all levels of life.

If you have been affected by the fires in LA, or are concerned about your ability to keep precious Drosophila strains going during the latest funding crisis, we will host your strains as a backup. Please email me. Please amplify. If you are also able to host fly strains, add your name as well.
