As someone who recently moved to Copenhagen to start a postdoc with @lauritsskov.bsky.social, I can highly recommend the city, the supervisor, and the research 🧬 Join us!

Computational biologists, sign up! 👩‍💻🧑‍💻 Don’t miss out on the chance to share your work and exchange ideas. Abstract deadline: 12th August See you there 🤓

Londonomics is back with its second workshop of the year: computer science for bioinformaticians 💡 4 pm @ UCL, with a pizza and drinks social after for an opportunity to network with fellow computational ECRs dotted around London ⚡️

Excited to share that a chapter of my PhD has just been published in Nature Communications! We profiled the transcriptomic and chromatin landscapes of microglia expressing the different APOE variants, which were xenografted into the brains of an Alzheimer's disease (AD) mouse model 🧠🧬 1/n

And just like that, 5 years in the Marzi lab @sj-marzi.bsky.social have come to an end. Couldn’t have asked for a better team ✨ Super excited to say, I’m switching fields and will be working with ancient human genomes in the Skov lab @lauritsskov.bsky.social in Copenhagen 🇩🇰

Excited to see a part of my PhD work out in the 🌍 We developed CHAS using 🧠 acetylation profiles, but it can be extended! Would love to hear from you if you try it with other tissues and cell types 🫁 🩸🫀 Lucky to have worked on this with an excellent team, more details below 👇🏻

This is a devastating and essential read. Here is a gift link for those without subs. The part about outside perceptions of scientists compared with almost a blue-collar reality is spot on (without even mentioning meager salaries). www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/o...

Londonomics is back! ⚡️ Join us next Thursday 4pm @ The Francis Crick Institute. Don’t sleep on this - only one ticket left!

We’re excited to bring you a series of talks and workshops 💥 Kicking things off with all things single-cell analysis with Dr @kristinaulicna.bsky.social 👩‍💻 🧬 More info and FREE tickets (only 1 left!) here: www.eventbrite.com/e/londonomic... Talk followed by a networking social 🍕

📬New job 📬 Postdoc role on the AMBER project, to undertake genetic analyses of antidepressant response. Join us! Important science, rich data, nice people. Please repost. @kingsioppn.bsky.social #depression #statistics #genetics #pharmacogenetics #antidepressants my.corehr.com/pls/coreport...

openRxiv has arrived! We’re thrilled to announce the launch of openRxiv as an independent, researcher-led nonprofit to oversee bioRxiv and medRxiv, the world’s leading preprint servers for life and health sciences. openrxiv.org/introducing-... #openRxiv #OpenScience #Preprints #bioRxiv #medRxiv

Thanks to the discovery of sodium channels and experiments in giant squid 🦑 and much more in between, we now have a non-addictive pain treatment 💊 Brilliant storytelling of why long term funding of basic science across disciplines is critical.

I was part of the Marzi lab for my masters, PhD, and now postdoc. @sj-marzi.bsky.social is an enthusiastic scientist and supportive mentor. The science is cool and the people are even cooler. Can’t recommend enough!!! 🤓 Apply apply apply 👇🏻

Just very happy to have our paper out today! A big thanks to all our co-authors, and to Nikolai and @steinaerts.bsky.social for the teamwork over the past years. If you are interested in using our models for cross-species enhancer studies, check out crested.readthedocs.io/en/stable/mo... 🙂

We are looking to recruit a highly motivated postdoc with cell or molecular biology expertise. Excellent #epigenetics, #chromatin training & networking opportunities @qmulepigenetics.bsky.social DM me for inquiries pl apply/share tinyurl.com/m6jnksk5

Londonomics has made the move over to Bluesky 🦋 We now have 200+ members and we’re excited to bring you together at workshops, networking events, and the annual symposium! 💡 We’ll be kicking things off with a NextFlow workshop in March 👀

Here is a growing list of conferences and schools in gene regulation for 2025 generegulation.org/conferences-.... You can order/filter this list by the date, deadline, location. Please reply here to suggest new events* *should be specific to gene regulation

Our long term project has finally been published - genetic diversity is lost worldwide, but we can also make a difference and conservation actions matters. Find out more in the Science news here www.science.org/content/arti... #Consgen

Modern GWAS can identify 1000s of significant hits but it can be hard to turn this into biological insight. What key cellular functions link genetic variation to disease? I'm very excited to present our new work combining associations and Perturb-seq to build interpretable causal graphs! A 🧵

Friends and colleagues, I’ve written a book on effective functional genomics study design, which will be available on Amazon in a couple of weeks. Sharing the TOC to spark interest. I hope students and those planning genomics experiments will find it useful! I’ll share updates soon

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-...

Our mentor Casey Brown, apart from being an extraordinary scientist, was a brilliant teacher who loved everything genetics. In his honor, some of the world's leading experts came together to create the 'Casey Brown Lecture Series' on human genetics 1/ shorturl.at/eCm7S

What do GWAS and rare variant burden tests discover, and why? Do these studies find the most IMPORTANT genes? If not, how DO they rank genes? Here we present a surprising result: these studies actually test for SPECIFICITY! A 🧵on what this means... (🧪🧬) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Exciting projects + brilliant PI + one of the best cities in the 🌎

Happy holidays from the Neurogenomics groups at Imperial with the @sj-marzi.bsky.social and Skene labs ☃️. We had a wonderful evening of Nepalese food, quizzes and an epigenetics-inspired sip and paint 🎨🍷🧬

Scared to share this after 10 freaking years of waiting, but here we go: We found that temperature *perception* can change the biology of the next generations, even when “it’s just in the parents' head”. Read how C. elegans neurons control epigenetic inheritance! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Anybody here moved from the UK to either Barcelona, Copenhagen, or Stockholm to do a Postdoc? I want to chat to you! ✌️

Big day for single cell and neuroscience. Trio of single cell perspective pieces discussing applications, opportunities, challenges, and validation of single cell and spatial genomics in neuroscience are out now in Nature Neuroscience. Links in thread below.👇 1/n

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
