Pai Lab

@SRC_CRS @CIHR_ICR @CdnLiverFdtn @CancerseinQC @OvarianCanada @cancersociety @DesjardinsINS Thank you to the donors and @SRC_CRS for supporting our research into early events initiating pediatric medulloblastoma! We hope these lead to improved diagnostics and potentially novel targeted therapies for these cancers.

🌟👏 CONGRATULATIONS to the 83 recipients of our Operating Grants! 🔬 Their research is the key to #OutsmartCancer! 👉 loom.ly/-Sq5GXA 🙏THANK YOU to our partners ! @CIHR_ICR @CdnLiverFdtn @CancerseinQC @OvarianCanada @cancersociety @DesjardinsINS

1/3 Pleased to share that the Pai Lab @RealPaiLab has been awarded a 2023 @SRC_CRS Operating Grant. 🎉 Congratulations to our team, inc. co-PI @fgaiti + @OICR_news Tissue Portal + Genomics Core. Special shoutout to Dr. Michael D. Taylor for his support. 🙏🏾#CancerResearch

Our OHS Newsletter is out! 📢 Surprising findings from our COVID-19 Antibody Study 📚 New datasets ready for researchers 🩸 How OHS blood samples will be used to detect cancer earlier 👉 Complete 2 surveys as we want your feedback buff.ly/3Nf6bOp

We're at the #SingleCell Biology #KeystoneSymposium! Come see Ian Cheong present scRNA-seq analysis to discover human-specific cell states in #braindevelopment + their potential link to #medulloblastoma. Visit Poster 1013 7:30pm MDT Mon AND/OR Catch Ian's talk 9:00am MDT Tue!

Our systems genomic analysis of 9 peri-adolescent neurocognitive phenotypes in the Philadelphia Neurodevelopmental Cohort is now out in Cerebral Cortex! Wanted to highlight our key findings here. academic.oup.com/cercor/advance… 1/n

Way to go @duncanforster and Sheena Li. Amazing team with Charlie Boone, @BoWang87 and @riken_en and @UTokyo_News_en @UofT @DonnellyCentre @VectorInst nature.com/articles/s4159…

(1/4)Is image segmentation a solved problem by #AI? maybe for natural images,but hardly true for cell segmentation! To address the gap, we announce the cell seg competition (neurips22-cellseg.grand-challenge.org ) in multi-modal high-resolution microscopy images in #NeurIPS2022.Join us and RT!

Cool work showcasing the power of genomics combined w/ prospective longitudinal studies in early cancer detection. Today (Wed May 25) at noon.

Thank you @FACIT for investing in a partnership between the Adaptive Oncology + Drug Discovery groups to develop tech for cancer drug target prioritization + validation. @RealPaiLab is thrilled to be part of the interdisciplinary team w/ the Marcellus, Al-Awar and Stein labs.

New opportunity to work with my team at @OICR_news as Senior Technical PM: recruitingsite.com/csbsites/oicr/… Welcoming and diverse team of 20 people, working on exciting and impactful projects to cure cancer. Healthy challenging, permanent position, 35h/week, benefits. Please RT!

Congratulations to MSc candidate Ian Cheong on his CGS award and to the Pai lab for being awarded a 2022 @NSERC_CRSNG Discovery Grant! Thank you for funding our work on single-cell genomics of medulloblastoma & networks/systems medicine-based methods for phenotype prediction.

The Pai lab is recruiting! Postdoctoral fellow position in Computational Genomics. Develop algorithms for cancer drug target prioritization using #genomics, biological #networks and systems medicine-based approaches. See details + apply here: recruitingsite.com/csbsites/oicr/…

This is also the Pai lab's 1st time at #AACR2022 so come by and learn about our work! Areas of interest include genomics + methylomics of brain and hematological cancers, developing algorithms for drug discovery, and we're even starting an epigenetics wet lab. See you there!

Come meet us at #AACR2022! @spaiglass presents poster #2505 Tuesday 9am-12:30pm (CT). Applying ML that uses prior knowledge of genome regulation to identify methylomic features that predict prognosis in PFA ependymoma and Group 3/4 MB. /1

Excited to share our work extending patient similarity network-based classifiers to use non-coding genomic data and to deep learning! Come visit our poster at #MLCB2021 today 2:20pm ET / 11:20am PST ! With @JenniferYuCS @duncanforster @spaiglass.

The CS department at Penn State is looking to fill several(!) faculty positions in bioinformatics. Initial deadline is Dec 1st, but we will consider all applications until the positions are filled. tinyurl.com/3znd5yws. Please RT if relevant to your followers. 1/3

Our study of prognostic lncRNAs in cancer and the onco-lncRNA HOXA10-AS in glioma is now published – cell.com/cell-reports/f…. Wonderful teamwork and journey with @karini925, Lingyan Jiang, Shuai Wu, @DanielSchramek et al. Thread below (0/10):

Come join us for the 2021 Gairdner Science Week Symposium: From Gene to Genomics & Epigenomics - The Future of Cancer Precision Medicine!

Just finished super useful 2-day workshop on "Managing Research Software Projects". Everything from design, workflow+governance, to communication, welcoming contributors, leadership+change. Thanks @gvwilson ! Class material, check it out: codebender.org
