Thrilled to host former lab mate and long time collaborator @TheBrooksLab as the first Translational Data Science Visiting Scholar @fredhutch! We are working on isoform discovery and functional characterization in lung cancer - it will be great to work face to face this month!
The Genomics Institute is looking for a new Director for the Genomics Institute Office of Diversity! The role generates and implements DEI initiatives within the Genomics Institute of Baskin Engineering at UC Santa Cruz. Apply Here: tinyurl.com/DirectorGenomi…
@andrei_thomas_t @ForbeckForums @OlgaAnczukow @EduEyras @GuccioneLab @NeugebauerKarla @TothovaLab @yeo_lab @CChengLab Thank you for the invitation! I am so much enjoying the format of the meeting!!! Also pleased to meet again some of my favorite #LongReadsTranscriptomics people @TheBrooksLab @EduEyras in this beautiful venue
Interested in an advanced degree in the biomedical sciences and engineering? Check out our virtual open house from 11am-1pm PST on November 9! Register at forms.gle/eNM39Sg3KB6rt7…
SOO excited to see the final LRGASP preprint out! The largest benchmark of #longreads for transcriptomics. A must-read if you plan on doing lrRNA-seq. Thanks to so many for the huge work @FJPardoPalacios @TheBrooksLab @MarkDiekhans @GSheynkman @calizavi biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Now published @Nature! We @UWproteindesign @ChristofferNorn designed a prototype luciferase from scratch with brightness similar to native luciferases. Also, I am thrilled to announce that my lab will open this summer @ucscbme. Join us to push boundaries in protein engineering!
Calling all postdocs! 📣 We are hosting the Next Wave of Faculty in Genomics Symposium to showcase rising talent in genomics research. *Money for travel to the beautiful Santa Cruz coast and an honorarium are available!* Learn more and apply by Feb 28: genomics.ucsc.edu/calendar_event…
Check out this #bioinformatics #protocol from Dr. Angela Brooks' lab @TheBrooksLab @AlexisThornton_ @ucscbme @ucsc for expression-based variant impact phenotyping to predict the impact of gene variants in cell lines: star-protocols.cell.com/protocols/1938
Alexis Thornton, PhD (@AlexisThornton_) is from USA 🇺🇸. She completed her PhD with Dr. @TheBrooksLab in the Department of Biomolecular Engineering (BME) in the Baskin School of Engineering at UC Santa Cruz (@ucscbme ) and has started new position at GRAIL (@GrailBio)
I hope the University of California is throwing its substantial lobbying power at the NIH to raise the R01 modular budget cap, which has been set at $250,000 per year since 2000. Twenty-two years. The entire lifetime of many grad students.
Congratulations to Vid and the rest of the iGEM team!
🧵 HOT OFF THE PRESS: BWCB is pleased to announce the publication of our editorial in @PLOSCompBiol titled "Ten simple rules for creating a global network in computational biology." doi.org/jjhn
🚨Headed to #ASHG22 next week? 🧬Be sure to support BWCB members contributing posters, panels, and booths at the @GeneticsSociety Annual Meeting in sunny LA. 🤝Follow for the latest info on opps. to learn more about us during the meeting. See you there Oct 24- 29th!
