The Center for GWAS in outbred rats (ratgenes.org) has a booth at #SfN22 (#3229). We are offering outbred rats with *genetically predicted* behavioral and physiological phenotypes. It's like selected lines, but we can predict for dozens of traits. What traits? Read on.

Delighted that California Institute for Regenerative Medicine has funded our center UC San Diego Health. Center is focused on integrative DATA SCIENCE combining genetics, neuroscience & clinical psychiatry (CRISPR, 3D organoid models of genes and neurocog and neuroimaging data on patients) cirm.ca.gov/about-cirm/new…

Thanks @pauljohnmeyer, it was great to see you too. So sorry I had COVID 🦠 and couldn’t fully participate in the actual meeting, but pizza on the beach was a high point.

It took me a second.

Speaking of which, Vanderbilt Center For Addiction Research is hiring! If you work on addiction (or even basic science that is relevant to addiction) and want to do that in an amazing environment you should apply: nature.com/naturecareers/…

We are thrilled to announce two open rank faculty searches U of Utah Human Genetics: a broad search for all areas of genetics research (utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/170913) & one focused on computational genomics faculty (utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/170449). This launches a multi-year recruiting initiative! (1/4)
