Many exciting opportunities for a PhD in Life Sciences in CRG, Barcelona. If you are interested in Genomics of Diabetes check out the offer for a fully funded fellowship in our lab - we will consider candidates with experimental or computational backgrounds.
Please spread the word!
The Gaza Famine is the world’s famine. A preventable, predictable famine.
Enough. Ceasefire. Open all crossings, north and south. Let us get food in, unimpeded and at massive scale.
Join is in Budapest in October! For the 6th time, all things epigenetics, gene and genome regulation and more. A fantastic opportunity to present, to talk to speakers and colleagues in a friendly, informal setting at a great location. Please note, travel grant deadline will expire soon.

These are VERY rough estimates, but here's life expectancy after diagnosis of type-I diabetes over the past 150 years.
It was Banting and Best's discovery of how to isolate insulin in 1921 — not some fucking cooking class — that gave people including my daughter a new lease on life.
Congratulations for this study in @Dev_journal, no small feat in Argentina's anti-Science climate

A HNF1A-A1CF transcription-splicing axis is suppressed in β cells from #T2D individuals, while genetic variants reducing pancreatic islet A1CF are associated with increased glycemia and T2D susceptibility www.cell.com/cell-metabol...
An HNF1A-A1CF transcription splicing axis regulates insulin secretion, and breaks down in T2D.
Amazing work led by Edgar Bernardo + Matias de Vas + major contributions from Diego Balboa, Silvia Bonas, Mirabai Cuenca, Fanny Mollandin, Merce Planas, Miquel Torrent, MA Maestro and many others

Transcription factors (TFs) bind specific DNA sequences to control gene expression. Modulating TF activity is of considerable therapeutic interest but very few TFs have been successfully drugged. TF D...
