I'm #hiring! Interested in working on a new approach to drug discovery aimed at restoring cellular health and reversing disease? I'm looking for an awesome Scientist / Senior Scientist in Statistical Genetics to join my group at Altos Labs.

@sedlazeck I dare you to wear that next week at ASHG.

Great collaborative study showing that Autoantibodies neutralizing type I IFNs underlie West Nile virus encephalitis in ∼40% of patients https://t.co/wDWWh4Mxs3

@jillahjillah @UCSFGradDiv Congrats Wesley!

A 🧵 on some of my intuitions/priors about the genetics of complex and molecular traits in humans (i.e. what I think of as typical), largely motivated by GWAS/QTL studies over the past decade [citing papers with nice figures where possible]

[Sören Müller @SorenMuller1]

Are you interested in the tumor microenvironment and would like to join a collaborative group of scientists? Together w the @TurleyLabGNE we are looking for a postdoc with passion for cancer immunology and quantitative data science. We'd ♥️ to meet you 👇https://t.co/lCQ7Zr22NS

Here's a recent review summarizing our research interests. https://t.co/XwcuuJxtIW

Winter has arrived, but we're already looking for two #interns to spend 3 months in our group @genentech next summer. Please reach out if you're interested in reverse translational research at the interface of Cancer Immunology and human #genetics. https://t.co/dnZ38CX3jK

@iskander @AmirHorowitz @pirl_unc @UNCBBSP Thanks Amir, and great to meet you, Alex. We're about to announce summer intern positions for 2023. 100% research projects, but in an industry framework. I'll follow up with you separately, and we can chat.

Proud to have made a small contribution to this important piece.

My first venture into the genetics of immunogenicity, finding an association of HLA variation with the risk of developing anti-drug antibodies against atezolizumab, an antibody used in Cancer Immunotherapy. https://t.co/nWh9as3nGR

Thanks, really informative summary for those of us who spent last week wondering about the status of EBV vaccine development

[Christian Hammer @christianhammer]

I'm hiring an #intern in data science / #genetics (summer, 3 months) @genentech for the development of a R Shiny app to visualize and compare immunogenetics association results. Please get in touch if you're interested. https://t.co/h85udQbp4T

To me, a major problem is the viewpoint that there is/should be a one-way flow from academia -> industry. Academia should recruit industry scientists at all levels and vice versa. Half of our lab has sig industry experience and it has transformed the way we approach questions.

[Christian Hammer @christianhammer]

@EricTopol @ScienceMagazine Fascinating. A couple of years ago we (and others) found the major MS HLA risk allele DRB1*15:01 to be associated with increased IgG levels against EBNA-1, which is now at the center of the molecular mimicry hypothesis. https://t.co/wYPcdPMorc

Machine learning papers trying hard to make it look like it all works well.

[Christian Hammer @christianhammer]

Great read on lessons from GWAS on infectious disease phenotypes, by @jacquesfellay @cthorball and @esiborghe. https://t.co/uAffi27M9z

[BuechlerLab @BuechlerLab]

Happy to announce opening of the #BuechlerLab in the fab Dept. of Immunology at @UofT.

Always keen to chat with potential postdocs, graduate students, collaborators or anyone interested in fibroblasts and macrophages. Please RT!
