UNC Genetics has a new position for an Asst Prof. Applications being accepted now. Please spread the word. https://t.co/WQJgqhDLGr

@doctorveera Thanks for highlighting our work!

We narrowed the locus down to 3 candidate genes, and we think 1 or more of these are going to matter to human pulmonary disease too.

Very excited to share our most recent findings on genes that mediate response to the common air pollutant ozone. A large QTL mapping project in Collaborative Cross mice by @ade__lady led to a locus that affects ozone-induced pulmonary injury.

@ClementYChow oh snap, I have to get me one of those!

@GregJSmith12 @ATS_EOPH @NIEHS The genome of this strain harbors susceptibility alleles that we plan to identify in the near future to reveal new mechanisms by which air pollutants cause adverse respiratory health effects.

[Samir Kelada @samir_kelada]

Excited to share a budding story from our lab, led by @GregJSmith12, about a Collaborative Cross mouse strain that responds to the air pollutant ozone in really unique ways.

Cool new work on mediation analysis from former trainee @wescrouse. His new method has utility for both model organism data and human data.

We're hiring: we need a technician to help us investigate the genetic basis of severe asthma in a model system. Ideal position for a recent college graduate that wants to gain research skills before heading to graduate/professional school.

@nhannahjones outraged, disgusted, ashamed. The UNC BoT's actions further prove why your work is so important.

[Samir Kelada @samir_kelada]

We're hiring! Jointly with the Moran Lab at UNC, my lab is recruiting a post-doctoral fellow to examine gene expression at high resolution in immune and non-immune cell types in the airway after exposure to the air pollutant ozone.

Final fun news of the week: my public (Zoom) defense is scheduled for two weeks from today, February 17th, at 9 am EST 🏭🐁🧬👾

[@adel-aide.bsky.social @ade__lady]

(1) As promised, more about our new preprint! 👾🏭🐁 This work was co-authored with @wescrouse, with guidance from @samir_kelada + Terry Furey and assistance from @GregJSmith12, among many others.

Along with Will Valdar, very proud to share former grad student Wes Crouse's new paper in Genetics on inferring the allelic series at QTL in multi-parental populations.
CC, DO, and DSPR people: this is interesting work!

When the candidate gene evidence lines up cleanly but the knockout doesn't finish the story as expected. A well-researched reminder that gene deletions in a single genetic background can be a blunt instrument: https://t.co/cm7HIzkzJg

We’re hiring! Jointly with the Furey Lab, my lab is recruiting a post-doctoral fellow in computational genomics to conduct research on the genomics of airway response to the air pollutant ozone.

Excited about this article in @umichsph Findings highlighting the career of Hosny Mancy, a prolific public health scientist, mentor & friend. The photo captures an amazing immigrant story–he’s an Egyptian, American, @UMich Wolverine, and @UNCpublichealth Tarheel all in one.
