Please RT! Multiple postdoctoral positions to study iPSC, Drosophila, and mouse models of neurodevelopmental disorders are available my lab (funded by NIH) (autism.bx.psu.edu). Link to my papers - pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=Giriraja… Please DM me for details.

Super excited to present our new perspective, led by my talented graduate student Maitreya Das, on the challenges and considerations for reproducibility of STARR-seq assays. Penn State Eberly College of Science Huck Institutes 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A revised version of "Challenges and considerations for reproducibility of STARR-seq assays" is now on bioRxiv. biorxiv.org/content/biorxi…

Congratulations to the newly promoted professors ⁦Penn State BMB⁩ ⁦Santhosh Girirajan⁩ and ⁦Bai Lab PSU⁩

Check out our new manuscript.

Our rock star Maitreya Das passed his defense! Congratulations, Dr. Das!!!

Our recent review in Trends in Genetics led by my grad student Jiawan Sun is now out tinyurl.com/ynwry35d

Our recent paper is online now!

.AJHG sat with Santhosh Girirajan, MBBS, PhD, from Penn State in the latest "Inside AJHG", to discuss his recently published paper, “Assortative mating and parental genetic relatedness contribute to the pathogenicity of variably expressive variants.” ➡️ashg.org/ajhg/inside-aj…

Congratulations to Santhosh Girirajan, professor of biochemistry and molecular biology, for being named head of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology! Read more about him at buff.ly/4d95n9e #PennStateBMB

I am very excited to present our manuscript, led by Matthew Jensen, on the influences of genetic modifiers and cohort ascertainment on variable expressivity of neurodevelopmental disorders. We believe this work is generalisable to complex disorders.🧵 medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am excited to present Deepro Banerjee's cross-ancestry analysis of >720k individuals identifying 116 novel genes associated with BMI (50 risk and 66 protective), with functional relevance to obesity. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
