We have 2-3 group leader positions opening up @FIMM_UH !!

We are looking for outstanding candidates in human genetics and precision medicine.

This time we have a particular focus on population health data science. E.g. AI for EHR/health data

[Andrea ganna @andganna]

We are looking for a post-doc/research fellow working on non-bullshit, reality-centered AI.

Meaning: unique nationwide EHR and -omics with the possibility to recontact people and prospectively test multimodal AI approaches.

Out now in Cell: Our new study uncovers the ancient origins of a genetic mutation that protects against HIV — and rewrites the story of its surprising high frequency in Europe.

In summary:
✅ CCR5delta32 arose once, >6,700 years ago
✅ It spread via Bronze Age demographic expansions
✅ Underwent strong positive selection
✅ Is now a globally relevant variant in medicine
All from an ancient immunogenetic adaptation.
