Really exciting to be early adopters of this new technology from PacBio that is enabling us to tackle important question about repeat expansion biology underlying a common age-realted eye disease.

New research in European Journal of Human Genetics by Freddie Braddock & colleagues at UCL Institute of Ophthalmology identified a novel missense variant in the SPARCL1 gene linked to corneal dystrophy. This research expands our knowledge of genetic eye disorders & their complexities. @AJ_Hardcastle go.nature.com/4fXTPrl

The Lecturer position at @ucleye closes on Monday 26 August. If you have a strong research profile and a proven track record of securing competitive grant funding, make sure to apply for this important leadership role at our institute. bit.ly/4dQpmJX

Check out this overview of our labs new paper in eBioMedicine – The Lancet Discovery Science spearheaded Christina Zarouchlioti revealing novel mechanistic insights into a common age-related cause of visual loss #OpticalGenomeMapping #RepeatExpansions

This study represents a labour of love by me Christina Zarouchlioti It would never have been possible without all the support we received from @ukri Moorfields Eye Charity @SightResearchUK NIHR Moorfields BRC UCL Brain Sciences and of most importantly the patients Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust!

David Cheerie and I will present at the first N1 Collaborative annual meeting tomorrow! We will discuss the newly established N1C VARIANT (Variant Assessments towards Eligibility for Antisense Oligonucleotide Treatment) Guidelines. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

The position of Associate Professor at our institute is currently open for applications. If you have substantial leadership experience in teaching and research, make sure to apply by 23 Oct. ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

Really exciting PhD opportunity for anyone interested in #RareDisease #RareGenetics #Genomics to join our highly collaborative and dynamic team UK Platform for Nucleic Acid Therapies- UPNAT

A privilege to share our translational research program UCL Institute of Ophthalmology with the Duchess of Edinburgh. Our research funded by Fight for Sight UK Research and Innovation Moorfields Eye Charity @SightResearchUK NIHR Moorfields BRC seeks to deliver new genetic diagnostics and therapies for inherited corneal disease.

It was a pleasure to welcome Marsha de Cordova MP today to discuss how #innovation drives eye health equity. Thank you to our researchers for showcasing their #research at the cutting edge of science. UCL Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust #Ophthalmology #MP #Battersea

Wonderful to have the opportunity to show Marsha de Cordova around our #inheritedcornealdisease lab today UCL Institute of Ophthalmology to showcase our genomic research program

Come and join the lab! we have a position available to work on the analysis of short and long-read DNA and RNA sequencing from patients with repeat expansion diseases jobs.ac.uk/job/DLG312/bio… #RepeatExpansionDisorders #RepeatExpansions #C9orf72
