KircherLab is a bioinformatics / computational biology lab that studies genetic variant effects throughout the genome.

[Martin Kircher @KircherLab]

We are recruiting two computational biologists/bioinformaticians with ML expertise and a focus on genomics, variant effects and gene regulatory sequences in staff scientist and postdoc roles in Lübeck, Germany. Please find details here: https://t.co/GbfuDN3gha

Excited to share the white paper for the IGVF Consortium, supported by @genome_gov

Deciphering the impact of genomic variation on function

Come and see posters of the lab at #ESHG2024 – Pia is presenting P20.013.B (award candidate) this afternoon and Mohan will present P16.084.D tomorrow afternoon. Very different work studying non-coding sequence effects with our collaborators at @NadavAhituv lab and @JShendure lab.

[Martin Kircher @KircherLab]

Very proud of our PhD candidate Kilian presenting to a full audience at #ESHG2024. Congratulations to this great talk!

#ESHG2024 is up to a great start in Berlin! So happy to see Svante filling the lecture hall at 8:30am :)

Registration is open for a workshop on MPRAs (from sequence design to ML modeling) that we are organizing in Luebeck, Germany. Please join us in February! https://t.co/19hmikRDLQ

We mourn the loss of a great person. Our close collaborator Prof. Michael Speicher from MedUni Graz died suddenly last weekend. Michael was an outstanding scientist and good friend to all of us. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and lab members.

Amazing opening keynote in front of a full house. Actually not even everyone was allowed in the lecture hall. Congrats @jfkelso #ismbeccb2023

Came across this great review with beautiful figures on human-specific traits and how to study them, published last month by @Lab_Pollen, @genomeCraig, @KlkUmut and @GrayCampLab: https://t.co/wuZ7b3TZEm

Enjoyed writing this review on assays and resources for functional annotation of non-coding variants with my dear colleague @k_u_ludwig in Bonn: https://t.co/ThrrN6juQL

Congratulations to Prof Christian Gilissen (@gilissenc) for officially accepting his professorship at Radboud University in Nijmegen today!

BREAKING NEWS:
The 2022 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Svante Pääbo “for his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution.”

https://t.co/5kz6erU8s0 is recruiting 2 PostDocs (https://t.co/3KpZlUJaJT. https://t.co/FavbcrgfBL). Apply by Oct 10, 22. We are part of #IGVF, analyze reg. variant effects (MPRAs/CRISPR screens) and develop new comp. models & tools w/ @JShendure, @NadavAhituv, @malte_spielmann.

[Greg Findlay @TheGenomeLab]

We're now also recruiting clinical group leaders! Many great ones here already to collaborate with, and all the resources needed to accelerate your team's research.

[Martin Kircher @KircherLab]

While most of the lab enjoys #ECCB2022 (and presented their in posters) in Spain, Max and I just made it over the Atlantic for the first in-person #IGVF meeting. Looking forward to meeting everyone in person after a year on Zoom!

[Martin Kircher @KircherLab]

@aaronquinlan @1MikeCormier Interested in relocating to Germany for a PostDoc? If you are, please reach out.

[Martin Kircher @KircherLab]

Looking forward to it 😊
