One week left to apply! You will be working with a fantastic group of people in a highly collaborative and supportive centre. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss it further

Biggest thing to ever come out of my little group. Pls help spread this finding! We found clean, CAUSAL evidence that the shingles vaccine prevents a good chunk of dementia cases. So, could a virus cause Alzheimer’s->YES! Hear me out & see preprint: bit.ly/3MVqXU9 🧵1/

So excited to share our work with Tobi Alegbe and @Lelandtlr where we used #singlecell on a large #IBD and healthy cohort to identify gastrointestinal cell types, genes and pathways associated with #Crohns disease ! medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very happy to share the latest preprint from my lab, where we benchmarked colocalisation and Mendelian randomisation methods using cis-pQTLs as the ground truth. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Absolutely delighted to be at #ASHG2023 on behalf of the IBD Disease Genetics Consortium If you want to hear more about the impact of common variants on IBD susceptibility (ant it’s mayor subtypes) drop me a DM or come to visit poster PB1469 on Friday (3-5pm)

"What sort of idiot makes a poster dependent on internet access in a place notorious for patchy WiFi?" Check out my poster PB125O today at 3 and I can talk you through how we mined the gut for sc-eQTLs #ASHG23 Not at ASHG? Go to the website I made for it tobi1kenobi.github.io/ashg2023poster/

Study over 1973-2001 not only confirms prior observations of increased cardiac & non-cardiac deaths in the winter, but distinct spikes at Christmas and New Year's Day - particularly pronounced for non-inpatient deaths ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/01… Circulation editorial

We are hiring a postdoc for our Open Targets project in collaboration with Gosia Trynka lab. A cool collaborative project between academia and industry using CRISPR screens to investigate how genes associated with immune diseases modulate B cell functions. Human Technopole

NEW PREPRINT! We have a new MR method called MR-link-2, which we validated extensively. Interested in Mendelian randomization? A🪡 below medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

We know the importance of subtle gene dosage variation, and yet the main tool of molbio is gene KO/KD. In our new preprint, Júlia Domingo introduced subtle modulations of transcription factor dosage by CRISPRi/a, and quantified responses by scRNA-seq. 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Fun weekend project idea: apply for a PhD in IBD genomics with us in Copenhagen. Both mathsy and biomedicine types welcome. Great data and, if I can be humble, great people jobs.ac.uk/job/DHC445/phd… #PhDjobs #PhDposition

We’re recruiting for multiple positions in my lab in New York and Stockholm, at MSc and PhD levels. If you’re interested in pursuing creative systems genetics questions with tools/data like Developmental GTEx, CRISPR and single-cell, please read further / share. 1/

Messaging all immunologists who are excited about the potential of large-scale genome editing to understand mechanisms underlying inflammatory bowel disease - this postdoctoral fellowship with @gosiatrynka and I may be right up your street!

Excited to share this discovery: Huntington's disease is a DNA process for almost all of a cell's life. Inherited HD alleles are innocuous, just unstable – CAG repeats slowy expand throughout life, acquiring toxicity only when quite long (>150 CAGs). biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
