Valentina Iotchkova

4 year PhD position in Statistical Genetics to develop novel computational methods for studying the genetic predisposition to complex blood phenotypes. Fully funded for UK/EU students. @OxfordHaem @MRC_WIMM @RDMOxford findaphd.com/phds/project/s…

Proudly announcing the birth of GARFIELD, great work by @k0pk0 in collaboration with @ewanbirney and others

Novel approach called GARFIELD can assess functional consequences of disease-associated #genetic variants. Published today in @NatureGenet by authors @k0pk0, @nicolesoranzo, @ewanbirney and collaborators ebi.ac.uk/about/news/ann…

@emblebi @NatureGenet @k0pk0 @nicolesoranzo A great piece of analysis - and a great post GWAS tool by @k0pk0 - done when she was a joint postdoc between me and @nicolesoranzo - Valentina is now flourishing in Oxford at the WIMM.

@ewanbirney Close enough ;) Йочкова! (and harder to spell/remember than Iotchkova) Just Valentina would be easiest, but yes I think generally surname is prefered unfortunately

(@k0pk0 - can you go just by your first name - Valentina - which 99% of people know you by or is oxford insisting on using Iotchkova group? I still think if so you should insist on cyrillic letters. Is this right: Иотчкова? Or is this Russian Cyrillic?)

Some great computational student positions open at the WIMM, in particular #2 with the brilliant @k0pk0 imm.ox.ac.uk/mrc-wimm-centr…

@k0pk0 in the @MRC_WIMM Matrix. Thanks Stephen for the stimulating demonstration.
