I am permanently moving over and abandoning this profile, for all the known reasons. See you on the other side, where the sky is still blue! 🦋

We are advertizing a #PhD position in our lab to study evolutionary genetics of adaptive immunity in humans and/or fish. We use computational and molecular approaches. Topic open, to be matched with student's interest/skills. Come join us! #MHC #HLA #TCR https://t.co/99hE0BNLZL

Excited to be part of this huge effort with @evotobi and @MeyerBritta. Here we led annotation of MHC I/II diploid haplotypes of six ape species. This is a huge advance for primate immunogenomics! I am currently adopting some of this for marmosets.

Big congrats to Synne Arstad Bjørnestad defending her PhD thesis yesterday 🙌🙌 think we have come a little closer in understanding the immune function in Atlantic cod 🐟
and thanks to the two opponents for the nice discussions @evotobi and Ilana Berlin 🤗🤗

Does the immune system protect against cancer?
Today our study on HLA immunogenetics and lung cancer risk has been published in @ScienceMagazine led by @chirag_msk @AnniinaTervi @MiriamSaffern @EricWil39327976 @HannaMOllila @rsamstein https://t.co/o1xqQkLDvJ

@Lange_Lab Thanks, Philipp! Much appreciated!

[Tobias L Lenz @evotobi]

@jarora_inde Thanks, Jatin! I appreciate that, and I'm very glad you feel that way. But you've also done your part for making mentoring you a fun experience.

Wow 🤩 It feels like I discovered a secret blue island 🏝️ what is this place? 🦋 let’s meet over there?! 👉🏻

@the_MRCA It's been my pleasure! That positive environment was also due to your contribution!

Very proud to see @the_MRCA defend his #PhD thesis on #HLA immune gene diversity and evolution in modern and ancient human populations! I'm biased, but I do think it's very exciting work! Looking forward to see also his last two chapters out soon! @MPI_EvolBio @UHHBio

Important analysis of the underrepresentation of Arabs in genome-wide association studies.
A few comments.
1. We expect the situation to somewhat improve, at least for Arab Israelis, with the developing Israeli national biobank project. ->
