GOLD Lab

GOLD Lab had the pleasure of hosting Prof. Piotr Kowalski in @ucddublin at the CLASS Seminar in @UCD_Conway. Piotr's work involves the development of cutting-edge RNA therapeutics and delivery tools - thanks for joining Piotr!

Please share with any bright, ambitious young scientists you know and find all the details here: gold-lab.org/we-are-hiring

🧬 💻 GOLD Lab is expanding! We have 2 Postdoc opportunities in RNA #cancer #genomics to uncover how tumour mutations act through #lncRNAs to promote cancer. Covering cutting-edge genome editing, bioinformatics and large datasets (in. Genomics England). 🔗More details below

🧪🧬Another Goldie postdoc, Michela Coan, presented her work at #ICSB2025 on using CRISPR to identify next-gen targets for lung cancer therapies - well done Michi! 👏

🧪🧬Our brilliant postdoc Zekiye Altan presented her work at #ICSB2025 this week! Well done Zek!👏

👏👩‍💼Well done to PhD Student Roofiya Koya, presenting her work at the annual GEL (@GenomicsEngland) summit in London today! #GERS2025 #GenomicsSummit2025 @GenomicsCRT @UCD_Research @UCDSBES

☀️🤩Another fantastic lab retreat this year in sunny Kerry. Great food, discussions and relaxing with the GOLD team!🌟

🤪⛳️Great fun at the latest lab activity - crazy golf!

👋 This week, we say farewell to PhD student Amanda Piveta Schnepper, who we had the pleasure of hosting from @Unesp_Oficial. 😄 It’s been fantastic having you in the lab! Wishing you all the best for the rest of your PhD journey and the exciting path ahead - stay in touch!

Well done Clodagh! 👏

🧬PhD student, Yifan Yu, presenting our latest #CRISPR work at #CRISPR25 - CRISPR and Beyond: Perturbations at Scale to Understand Genomes. Well done Yifan👏

🧪🧬Our postdoc, Dr. Zekiye Altan presented work from the lab, discussing lncRNAs as promising next-gen cancer therapies, at @CSHL Nucleic Acid Therapies last week #cshlnat 👏Well done Zek!

🥳🙏🧠My team and I are delighted and grateful for this funding to support our work in translating fundamental studies of #RNA into new medicines for #cancer patients! @Researchirel @UCD_Research ucd.ie/newsandopinion…

Check out this webinar from the latest updates from our team member Xingyu on his development of #noncodingRNA -targeting therapies for #lungcancer

👏🧑‍💼Delighted to host @strokeogh from our old host institution @DBMR_UniBe / @unibern at the @UCD_Conway #CLASS seminar today! ♻️ Prof. Deborah Keogh-Stroka, an expert in liver regeneration, gave a fantastic talk about how ageing livers may lose their replicative capacity!

2-year computational postdoc position available to join our growing team to work on super-enhancers & transcription factors in AML @ucddublin. This project will use patient biopsies to identify 'epigenomic' sensitivities for this devastating cancer. conwaychromatinlab.com/team
