This a very important, and extremely well-executed study from Ralph Grand’s group @uniheidelberg.bsky.social. Congrats to all the authors! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
#postdoc #fellowship available in my lab (1year renewable) to investigate #chromatin mediated #epigenetic mechanisms of #sexbias in #autoimmunity and the role of long #mcRNA #XIST. Please RT!
Last few days to apply for this #PhD project!
🚨 Multiple #PhD opportunities for lab or computational applicants. Do you want to understand the molecular basis of #epigenetic dysfunction in human disease?
Come work with our group at the fantastic, collaborative @uoe-igc.bsky.social in a beautiful, liveable city.

Our paper on the evolution of XIST regulatory network in primates is now published in Science Advances! Check out the paper www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... or a digest of our findings emmanuelczt.github.io/posts/2026/0... A short 🧵 of our main findings 👇
Only 6 days left to apply! We’re recruiting a PhD student to study the immunogenic roles of transposable elements in pediatric AML. The project involves working with clinical trial samples in collaboration with Dr. Richard Dillon (KCL). If interested, get in touch!
Excited to share our first story led by @martinacapriati.bsky.social! How do cells control the expression of viability genes? We find that single transcription factors can drive both chromatin opening and gene activation from densely co-bound CpG island promoters, including at essential genes
