👏Congrats to @conwayer1 on a landmark @GenesDev paper!

With @tcddublin’s @adrianbracken & Orla Deevy @UCD_Conway, the team uncovered how EZH2 mutations disrupt PRC2, driving rare Weaver syndrome🧬

Science Foundation Ireland-funded positions in my lab studying PFAS degradation in microorganisms.
See: https://t.co/obi1p5G17g

[Cormac Murphy @CormacMurphyUCD]

I have a 2 year postdoc opportunity in my lab to investigate the biodegradation of organofluorine compounds. Apply via https://t.co/xSU3VrBthk, reference 017218. Closing date May 17th.

[Cormac Murphy @CormacMurphyUCD]

@KokschGroup @profund @FU_Berlin Congratulations Suvrat

[Cormac Murphy @CormacMurphyUCD]

SFI funded postdoc available in my lab investigating the biodegradation of PFAS (15 months).
Experience in fungal cultivation and analysing catabolic intermediates would be a distinct advantage.
