My lab and that of @JianZengR are recruiting postocs to work on various stat gen projects. There are 3 positions advertised. Please check them out and share within your networks. Thanks! nature.com/naturecareers/… Closing Date is Feb 28, 2025.

We are looking for Research Associate or Fellow to investigate the roles of human endogenous retrovirus (part of human genome sequences) on motor neuron disease by conducting statistical genetic analysis of large-scale multi-omics data. seek.com.au/job/80927584

Immersed yesterday in the ever expanding depth&breadth of projects @IMBatUQ Human Studies Unit- our MND team is lucky to have/be supported by this incredibly knowledgeable team- ~10k genotyping arrays is just a small snapshot of the research data generated across Australia/NZ!

Are you a person living with #ALS #MND? If so, please consider completing this survey on what technology should look like to support you, and guide the direction of future research.

*Ten* 3-year post-doc/assistant prof jobs advertised for our Pioneer Centre for SMARTbiomed - address key questions in common complex diseases through development of new stat/comp tools & software. A new Denmark-Oxford collaboration. Critical mass! smartbiomed.dk/join-the-centr…

Great2participate at QLD health-office of research and innovation workshop on integrating genomics into healthcare - there is a risk to patients if we don’t do this! Insp. talks Prof Thomas (omico) not4profit, patient centred Aust NZ cancer platform & Prof Brown- GenomicsEngland

Another pies to pacific conquered for the incredible @MNDFoundation - with @loic_thibaut and @GiulioCentorame - A small reminder of all the challenges faced by those with MND - thankful for all of the support esp. colleagues @IMBatUQ and centre for pop genetics & genomics

Published today, our reasons for optimism that success rates in drug discovery can be improved by picking the right targets using human genetics: nature.com/articles/s4158… I break the key findings down panel by panel in this thread: x.com/cureffi/status…

Join our Genetics & Genomics Winter School 2024 in June to learn about statistical and computational methods! Registration opens from 2nd April! hsu.imb.uq.edu.au/genetics-and-g… @PCTGenomics @IMBatUQ

#RareDiseaseDay - Many individuals & families are significantly affected by a rare disease incl. #MND - often diagnosis is slow/with no treatment. Research investment=useful/ collective data=new patterns /gains in one field=spread to others/many great initiatives #leapyear

Huge thanks to the @MNDFoundation for supporting my trip as the Scott Sullivan Fellow and @FightMND for project support :)

A moving close to the Int. ALS/MND symposium - a brave young girl given early access to experimental therapy -Jacifusen - targeting a variant in the FUS gene - showing remarkable improvement. A huge sense of optimism - a standing ovation to her / treating team - amazing progress!

Glad to attend the official launch of the UQ Centre for Community Health and Wellbeing in Springfield! A SE QLD city master planned & built on pillars of health, education, IT - a genuine partnership between community & research - huge opportunities! greaterspringfield.com.au

Some THM: “Today - If I had the genetic information on an individual- I would be able to give actionable health information 70% of the time — Genetics is a major risk factor for all the common diseases and cancers For many - it is the most important risk factor”

Public lecture @ city town hall by Prof Sir Peter Donnelly - (soon in Syd & Melb) convincing storytelling on the power and potential of genetics in healthcare - integrative health projects in UK and US - public and private funds - making it happen!

Just incredible Mackenzie! 🥅🧤⚽️🔥♥️

First Bigfreeze at the Gabba! Thanks so much to the special PCTG and HSU team members @IMBatUQ for being part of the FightMND army!

Cheering all the way — Brissy to Byron — for @MNDFoundation — amazing charity / people / riders - including @Darth_Oblivious — all part of helping things change for those affected

Hurry up! Registrations for the Genetics & Genomics Winter School closing soon on this Friday (May 19). Register at hsu.imb.uq.edu.au/genetics-and-g…

The @mcraelab at @imbatuq are using FightMND's IMPACT grant, jointly awarded with @MNDfoundation, to identify MND biomarkers to speed up diagnosis. Learn more about Allan's project at: fightmnd.org.au/wp-content/upl… #IMBATUQ #FightMND #MND #MNDandMe
