Subhojit Roy, MD, PhD

Massive 10+ year effort in lab spearheaded by @leonardoaparrar and Kayal (secret account 🤔). Unreal cover by @EmmaVIDALL that says it all.

Ultimate @Tesla goal is to turn the car into an elevator. You walk in and push a button and that's it. Driving would be just as much fun as riding an elevator.

Someone decided THIS is what was missing @ucsd

One goal of the SCGE Consortium is to submit IND applications for novel gene editing therapies. As part of this work, we've created a collection of useful resources, templates, and tools for filling out an IND application. Access these free resources at scge.mcw.edu/platform/data/…

There is still time to apply. I'm now looking for someone who likes imaging, for a project like this: cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

We know why some trials worked and others didn't (time of intervention for ex). You can't combine all of them LOL. It's like averaging results of every exam you ever took and conclude you aren't the topper. cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.10…

I was at a barbershop this morning where the guy said his mother and sister think all scientists are hiding information ("there IS a cure for cancer!!"). Gave him 20 min lecture on joys of peer review. Jokes aside surprising how little people know about the scientific process.

Our lab has an open postdoctoral position. Work in the lab ranges from trafficking of neuronal cargoes to developing gene editing therapeutics for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. I'm looking for the right person, project is flexible. Please apply immediately. roylab.org

Since grad school interviews are happening, here's some things you should probably not say to faculty interviewer: - "why don't you tell me a little bit about your research?" - "yeah yeah...seen it all, know what y're saying" - "UCSD is ok, but really..." - "so...who's your PI?"

"My student’s feedback prompted me to think why I pursued career in academia in first place. I recalled the excitement I felt as a postdoc, when curiosity was king...I lost sight of this when I was consumed by problems and fears under the tenure clock" science.org/content/articl…

Have you checked out the SCGE platform site? There is a lot of great information available! 1) Use the publicly accessible Gene Therapy Clinical Trial Browser to find information on gene therapy development from a variety of sources. (1/3) scge.mcw.edu/platform/data/…
