Our second Drug repurposing scientific meeting will provide an interdisciplinary discussion and networking platform that welcomes attendees from the academic, industrial, clinical and regulatory fields. You can submit your abstract by the 10 March bit.ly/Drug-repurposi…

New exciting opportunity for a computational biologist to join the lab of Prof Caleb Webber (UK DRI at Cardiff) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 A leading role in constructing cellular atlases of a range of human brain tissues using large new sets of single cell data 🧠 🗓️15 Feb 👉bit.ly/35pwMpL

My short review is out! Integration of functional genomics data to uncover cell type-specific pathways affected in Parkinson's disease portlandpress.com/biochemsoctran…

Yes come and join @CharlesColdroom and I chair the Multi-'omics Analysis of the Brain at Single Cell Resolution workshop with a great line-up of @ViolaVolpato @sj_marzi @LabStratton, Kenneth Harris and Seth Grant. @BritishNeuro @UKDRI can't wait!

Interested in using data science and AI to study experimental models for #dementia research? Join our @DEMONNetworkUK Experimental Models working group meeting tomorrow at 2pm GMT. We have an exciting talk from @ViolaVolpato @UKDRI Cardiff on reproducibility of stem cell models.

Our #neurogenomics seminar series is back! Excited to be hosting Song Chen from @sangerinstitute to tell us about single cell multi-omics analyses of the human brain. Join us Feb 9 at 3pm on zoom. DM for link.

Parkinson's Research Seminar series starts this Wed at 2pm. @ManuelaMXTan, @UCL, will share genetic variants associated with progression, and @ViolaVolpato, @cardiffuni @UKDRI, will talk about cell-specific pathways associated with genetic risk. Register: parkinsons-org-uk.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Very happy and proud to present: The GTEx papers. This set of 15 papers published today describes the final phase of this 10-year effort, providing the genomics community an atlas of genetic regulatory variants and a deep dive into the biology behind it. sciencemag.org/collections/ge…

stay safe but think forward! Exciting opportunities @humantechnopole in the #brain #organoids and #genomics facilities and in my lab #neurogenomics look out for our ads also @ISSCR #jobbank and @sfn #neurojobs humantechnopole.it/web/guest/join… please RT

Our human single-cell atlas of the Substantia Nigra is finally out on bioRxiv! #Parkinsons

Need to brush up on your #biostatistics? Prof Valentina Escott-Price & Dr Emily Baker (UK DRI at Cardiff University) share their expertise in our recent 'Bioinformatics for Biologists' training workshop on the UK DRI youtube page 📺 youtu.be/V6FWhamv_K8 via @YouTube

Please RT: I'm recruiting postdocs to work on #neurogenomics at the Imperial @UKDRI. Interested in understanding the cause of brain disorders using #singlecell #genomics, epigenetics, #bioinformatics and GWAS? Get in touch! Wet and dry researchers needed! bit.ly/2PK4OtY

Today we're running a 'Bioinformatics for Biologists' workshop, introducing cellular imaging analysis, biostatistics & bulk RNA-seq analysis💻 Fantastic to see the UK DRI centres sharing knowledge and expertise 🙌

For our second day of informatics, we've gathered for a workshop of 3-min flash talks & spotlight sessions on GWAS/Risk & single-cell analysis after lunch. Thanks for hosting us @SWC_Neuro! @sj_marzi, UK DRI at Imperial, takes to the stage⬇️

Working with #iPSC? @ViolaVolpato and Caleb Webber @UKDRI discuss how to deal with and reduce cellular heterogeneity to foster reproducible and meaningful experiments: dmm.biologists.org/content/13/1/d… #OpenAccess #DiseaseModelling #StemCells
