🥳🙏🧠My team and I are delighted and grateful for this funding to support our work in translating fundamental studies of #RNA into new medicines for #cancer patients! @Researchirel @UCD_Research ucd.ie/newsandopinion…
👏👩💼Well done to PhD Student Roofiya Koya, presenting her work at the annual GEL (@GenomicsEngland) summit in London today! #GERS2025 #GenomicsSummit2025 @GenomicsCRT @UCD_Research @UCDSBES
☀️🤩Another fantastic lab retreat this year in sunny Kerry. Great food, discussions and relaxing with the GOLD team!🌟
👋 This week, we say farewell to PhD student Amanda Piveta Schnepper, who we had the pleasure of hosting from @Unesp_Oficial. 😄 It’s been fantastic having you in the lab! Wishing you all the best for the rest of your PhD journey and the exciting path ahead - stay in touch!
Well done Clodagh! 👏
🎉What a night! Huge congrats to all our inspiring 6 finalists! We are delighted to announce the #ENGAGE2025 prizes: 🏆 Winner Clodagh Murphy @CloMurph 🌟 🥈Runner-Up @daviesmolly13🌟 Thank you so much for joining us in person and online!
🧬PhD student, Yifan Yu, presenting our latest #CRISPR work at #CRISPR25 - CRISPR and Beyond: Perturbations at Scale to Understand Genomes. Well done Yifan👏
🧪🧬Our postdoc, Dr. Zekiye Altan presented work from the lab, discussing lncRNAs as promising next-gen cancer therapies, at @CSHL Nucleic Acid Therapies last week #cshlnat 👏Well done Zek!
Check out this webinar from the latest updates from our team member Xingyu on his development of #noncodingRNA -targeting therapies for #lungcancer
Our next online All-Ireland RNA club meeting is happening this Friday, the 14th of February, 1-2pm. Scan the QR code to join the Teams meeting, all Ireland-based researchers welcome to attend! #RNASalon @lexogen @RNASociety
👏🧑💼Delighted to host @strokeogh from our old host institution @DBMR_UniBe / @unibern at the @UCD_Conway #CLASS seminar today! ♻️ Prof. Deborah Keogh-Stroka, an expert in liver regeneration, gave a fantastic talk about how ageing livers may lose their replicative capacity!
2-year computational postdoc position available to join our growing team to work on super-enhancers & transcription factors in AML @ucddublin. This project will use patient biopsies to identify 'epigenomic' sensitivities for this devastating cancer. conwaychromatinlab.com/team
🧑💼👏Our postdoc, Dr. Michela Coan (@CoanMichela), and PhD student, Bhavya Dhaka, showcased their research at #RNAbench2bedside in CA, USA this week! 🧬 Their presentations highlighted the potential of #lncRNAs as next-generation targeted cancer therapies. @NatureConf
Still one day for applying for this position! PostDoc level 2 for 22-months at UCD in Bioinformatics and Microbiology. For more info keep in touch!
🧑💼👏Two PhD students from our lab presented their work across the country yesterday!🇮🇪 🧬Roofiya Koya discussed tumour #mutations in #lncRNAs ✂️Yifan Yu shared results from our #CRISPR screen identifying cancer-driving #lncRNAs. 👏Huge congrats to Yifan on winning best talk!
👏Massive congratulations to our first Dublin PhD graduate, Dr. Sunandini Ramnarayanan!👩🎓 The team is so proud of your massive achievements over the past years, the sky is the limit!🌤️
GOLD Lab and @UCDSBES will be hosting Elzbieta Kierzek from @PAN_akademia to share her work on #RNA and #antiviral #RNAtherapeutics this Thursday. Come join us! @UCD_Research @UCD_Conway
👻👀 GOLD Lab has contributed to latest @GencodeGenes #lncRNA gene annotations, a fundamental resource for geneticists and molecular biologists worldwide. Check out the preprint her 👇
👇🤯For everybody interested in #lncRNAs, the latest @GencodeGenes capture effort and resulting improved annotations are big news! Major increases in overall counts in human and mouse, better overlap with other collections and far higher human-mouse orthology rates
Thats a wrap on #ncRNA2024 ! Big thanks to our 2 Keynotes, 10 invited experts, 32 selected talks and 90+ registrations, full panorama of cutting edge #ncRNA research, loads of great discussions and fun!
The final day at Non-coding RNA World 2024 was nothing short of incredible! 🧬 From inspiring keynote sessions to thought-provoking discussions on the latest in RNA research, today was a celebration of innovation and collaboration in the field. Thank you to all our speakers,…
Fantastic first Keynote Talk from Mauro Giacca on small RNA therapies in cardiovascular system #ncRNA2024
