Last week we published a landmark paper in Nature describing the production of the world's leading vaccine adjuvant, QS-21, in yeast. This work will pave the way for affordable, readily available, effective vaccine adjuvants for the world.

One of the most detailed models of a human cell. Obtained using X-ray, and cryoelectron microscopy:

@arjunrajlab I usually recommend my students choose a supervisor, rather than a project. A project could change and will end. Mentorship can be life long. https://t.co/5vHvz1HLsX

We just UPDATED our massive database of funding opportunities for EARLY-CAREER RESEARCHERS.

For each of the 496 funding opportunities, we provide information, link, eligibility criteria, $ amount, and deadline.

We just updated our large database of PhD fellowships.

For each of the 190 entries, we provide description of the fellowship, link, amount, deadline, and eligibility criteria (e.g. citizenship).

Finished "Bacteriophage T4 Infection" this morning. The thin white line at left, which folds up and down 10 times, depicts the length of the T4 genome. After I add a few finishing touches and make sure I haven't forgotten anything, I'll put the full-size file @buildmodels.

Come work with us! Want to study how cancer cells regulate genes and how that determines response to therapy? Want to use that to predict which patients will respond to specific therapies and empirically determine personalized treatment regimens? @UNC_Lineberger @UNCSurgery

[Liz Brunk @brunklab]

Are you a skilled computational scientist with background in single cell & NGS pipelines?

Join our team! @brunklab and @PSpanheimer

Get involved on projects where precision medicine meets genome science!

90-100K, great benefits, remote possible:

Fantastic talk on ML for genomic sequences by @jun90cheng
At #CHIL23; Lots of great questions about when LLMs will adapt to non-NLP data. Another option is to add additional structure during PT, as @marinkazitnik, I, & others explore in the paper below.

@TraverHart @UNC_PHCO Yesss! Let’s chat about it!!!

"...students can have new opportunities to decide whether it is something they enjoy and that motivates them. We have numerous examples of students who loved this experience, and that's what makes it all worthwhile", says Dr. Elizabeth Brunk @brunklab.

🌟Applauding Dr. Elizabeth Brunk @brunklab, for her visionary leadership in expanding data science education! Her CyVerse-powered workshop with immersive 3D imaging and hands-on experiences transformed the data science landscape for over 300 undergrads!

NEW PREPRINT: https://t.co/w1YXIUaodE

Intratumor heterogeneity is associated with worse outcomes and poor response to treatment across human solid organ tumors - so can we measure distinct responses in distinct cell types? Is that informative?
