🧬 How do immune disease-relevant variants affect gene regulatory networks in CD4+ T cells?
🧪🖥️ We coupled two large-scale CRISPRi screens (>4M cells) to map the downstream cascades of thousands of SNPs

Very proud to see this work out on bioRxiv. Using genome-scale TAP/Perturb-seq we mapped the function of immune-disease variants to target genes and regulatory cascades. Have a look at the 🧵from @anniquec.bsky.social for more info!

With @leopoldparts.bsky.social and @oliverstegle.bsky.social we comprehensively mapped CRISPRi responses in iPSCs identifying protein complexes as nexus for transcriptional changes and made a first step towards population-scale CRISPR screens to dissect genetic modulation of perturbation responses
We are looking for a postdoc to join our team! If you're interested in translating a cutting edge genomics technology (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) to real-life applications in hematology, this is for you. We offer a unique working environment ON THE BEACH: recruitment.crg.eu/content/jobs...
Extremely honoured to receive the Bayer foundation early excellence in science award. Thanks to all my team, colleagues, collaborators and mentors for making this possible!
Was fun to be part of this!
