WardLab

These opportunities will focus on working with data generated as part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), iPSC Neurodegenerative Disease Initiative (iNDI) and CRISPRBrain projects. Contact info@datatecnica.com if interested!

@wardm50 Early career bioinformatics positions available! Data Tecnica International (DTi) invites applications for two new positions focused on accelerating open science/open data efforts.

Lab Manager Position - Ward Lab, NIH Searching for an exceptional individual to join our team, performing 70:30 ratio of experiment:management duties. Cell culture/mol bio background preferred. Please share! mykellyjobs.com/s/search-resul…

So proud of Sarah Hill from my team, who led the efforts from our group in an amazing (and fun!) collaboration with Wei Wu and Will Nathan in Andre Nussenzweig’s lab at the NCI and Keith Caldecott at the University of Sussex.

Could DNA breaks ever be a GOOD thing for cells? Check out our latest paper in Nature, in which we found that neurons normally undergo surprisingly high levels of DNA break/repair events at enhancers, likely important for epigenetic regulation. rdcu.be/chtRg

@cziscience @ChanZuckerberg So excited to be part of the CZI Neurodegeneration Challenge Network, and to work with Alessandro Ori's team on intersections between aging and genetics in neurodegeneration!

We’re welcoming 60 new grantees to @ChanZuckerberg’s Neurodegeneration Challenge Network! These researchers are piloting innovative approaches to fighting neurodegenerative diseases like #Alzheimers, #Parkinsons + #ALS czi.co/Neurodegenerat…

New joint post-doc fellowship opportunity in the Roll-Mecak and Ward labs at the NIH! linkedin.com/posts/michaelw…

Big thanks to Giampietro Schiavo (UCL) and Robert Parton (U. Queensland) for recommending our recent axonal RNA transport paper in F1000prime! f1000.com/prime/73662627…

Excited to share our findings on a surprising new mode of RNA transport in neurons that goes awry in ALS, a multi-lab effort with Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz and Peter Hyslop! ninds.nih.gov/News-Events/Ne…’s-guide-neuron sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I'm thrilled to share our new paper on CRISPRi screening in iPSC-derived neurons, a joint effort with @MartinUCSF! Couldn't be more proud of the efforts by our multi-institute team to bring an idea into reality. cell.com/neuron/fulltex…
