We're now also recruiting clinical group leaders! Many great ones here already to collaborate with, and all the resources needed to accelerate your team's research.

kircherlab.github.io is recruiting 2 PostDocs (tinyurl.com/HLpostDoc. tinyurl.com/igvfHLpostDoc). Apply by Oct 10, 22. We are part of #IGVF, analyze reg. variant effects (MPRAs/CRISPR screens) and develop new comp. models & tools w/ Jay Shendure, Nadav Ahituv, Malte Spielmann.

BREAKING NEWS: The 2022 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Svante Pääbo “for his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution.”

Congratulations to Prof Christian Gilissen (Christian Gilissen) for officially accepting his professorship at Radboud University in Nijmegen today!

Enjoyed writing this review on assays and resources for functional annotation of non-coding variants with my dear colleague Kerstin Ludwig in Bonn: doi.org/10.1515/medgen…

Came across this great review with beautiful figures on human-specific traits and how to study them, published last month by Pollen lab, Craig Lowe, Umut Kılık and Gray Camp: nature.com/articles/s4157…

Amazing opening keynote in front of a full house. Actually not even everyone was allowed in the lecture hall. Congrats Janet Kelso #ismbeccb2023

AGD annual meeting is coming back this year on Oct 26-27, online and in Bonn, with the theme: Thinking beyond short read genomes #AGD2023 agdev.de/tagung2023.html

We mourn the loss of a great person. Our close collaborator Prof. Michael Speicher from MedUni Graz died suddenly last weekend. Michael was an outstanding scientist and good friend to all of us. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and lab members. medunigraz.at/news/detail/na…

Registration is open for a workshop on MPRAs (from sequence design to ML modeling) that we are organizing in Luebeck, Germany. Please join us in February! kircherlab.github.io/IGVF_workshop_…

#ESHG2024 is up to a great start in Berlin! So happy to see Svante filling the lecture hall at 8:30am :)

Very proud of our PhD candidate Kilian presenting to a full audience at #ESHG2024. Congratulations to this great talk!

Come and see posters of the lab at #ESHG2024 – Pia is presenting P20.013.B (award candidate) this afternoon and Mohan will present P16.084.D tomorrow afternoon. Very different work studying non-coding sequence effects with our collaborators at Nadav Ahituv lab and Jay Shendure lab.

Excited to share the white paper for the IGVF Consortium, supported by National Human Genome Research Institute Deciphering the impact of genomic variation on function rdcu.be/dSZdm

We are recruiting two computational biologists/bioinformaticians with ML expertise and a focus on genomics, variant effects and gene regulatory sequences in staff scientist and postdoc roles in Lübeck, Germany. Please find details here: kircherlab.github.io/contact.html
