Are you looking for something scientific to listen to this holiday season? We've got you covered.

In this two-part podcast episode, I discuss with Patrick Short some of the most interesting human genetics stories of 2023 for ~2.5 hours, covering >25 human genetics papers.…

New protocol for iPSC derived nociceptive sensory neurons and benchmarking using a combination of #singlecell RNAseq and phenotypic assays. From one of experimental projects Open Targets

Brain region-specific changes in neurons and glia and dysregulation of dopamine signaling in Grin2a mutant mice biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv

Our study of gain-of-function (GOF) and loss-of-function (LOF) pathogenic variant features is online: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
With an online server of all known GOF/LOF variants: itanlab.shinyapps.io/goflof/
Congrats @cigdems__ and thanks Avner Schlessinger for the great collaboration.

My colleagues at Regeneron have preprinted an another beautiful paper today on the genetics of hearing loss in a large sample size that includes > 430k exomes. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

😟. No known travel history = the variant is spreading in NY. We probably have a few weeks before shit hits the fan big time. We should act now and go into a moderate lockdown without delay: close gyms, salons, WHF for all who're able, etc.

Looking forward to giving this seminar tomorrow morning! I'll talk about my scientific journey so far, some of the challenges I faced, and explain what scientific success and mentorship mean to me. Come join us! 🏳️‍🌈🧠🧬👩‍💻

PS: it'll be morning (10am) for me, in NYC- and 3pm for y'all in the UK!

Tune in tomorrow to hear about some of our recent work.

Very excited to share the first preprint from the International Suicide Genetics Consortium: “Dissecting the shared genetic architecture of suicide attempt, psychiatric disorders and known risk factors” (N ~30,000 cases) medrxiv.org/content/10.110… Jay JooEun Kang, MD PhD Douglas Ruderfer

1 in 8 men have #depression but gender stereotypes prevent them from seeking help. It doesn’t have to be this way. Join the @GLADstudy to help to help us better understand male #mentalhealth NIHR BioResource

Very tough year

Mark your calendars for the 1st #BlackInNeuro Mini-Conference!🎉🎉

In lieu of SfN 2020, we’ll be hosting events 10/31-11/04 for Black In Neuro 🧠 trainees to present their research & acquire professional development advice, particularly during this virtual grad application season!

I have a joke about human genetics, but it’s too complex.
