🥳🙏🧠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…

Great opportunity for a PhD student and RA!!!

PhD alert! I have two ERC-funded PhD positions to uncover the chemical origins of life! Starting date: October 2025. *UK fees only*. Projects described here: lclu.cam.ac.uk/studentship-op… Email me if interested - deadline (PhD in Biochemistry, Uni of Cambridge): January 7th!

We’re recruiting a PhD student to use comparative omics to investigate why some viruses can efficiently infect both human and mosquito cells, but lead to different infection outcomes. Fully funded position by @EvoMG_Bcn at UPF-CRG with the @ViroUPF lab. crg.eu/en/content/tra…

👏🧠Congratulations to our Goldie Yifan Yu who won best presentation prize at last week's All-Ireland RNA Club! Thanks to the @IrishRNA for putting on this valuable meeting to bring the Irish #RNA community together 🙏

We have an opening for an industry PhD position (CSIRO iPhD Program) to work with CSIRO and RNAfold.ai on "Prediction of molecular interactions with RNA using AI for basic research and therapeutic discovery" More info: science.anu.edu.au/study/research…

👇💥#postdoc #opportunity here at @UCDSBES

😬🤨I'm not surprised to hear this report on poor standard of living for Postdocs at @ucddublin. If Ireland wants to be scientifically competitive, we need to offer a decent and equitable quality of life to our young researchers @Researchirel nature.com/articles/d4158…

👏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!🌤️

I ❤️ (car-free) #Paris! Starting Nov. 4, 2024, the 5.5 km2 heart of Paris will be closed to through traffic. (Buses, taxis, ambulances, residents' cars will still have access.) Opponents claim it will make life hell. Here's what hell looks like, according to them:

Fantastic work by Wallace, many colleagues and collaborators of the #FANTOM6 consortium. Identification and characterisation of full-length structures of eRNA, and other non coding RNAs, is essential for our understanding of biology.

👇🤯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

Very excited that our next All-Ireland RNA club meeting is coming closer: 6th of December in @QUBelfast or online! Don't forget to register by the 25th of October and consider submitting an abstract (PhD students/Postdocs): go.qub.ac.uk/RNAclubAutumn2… @RNASociety @lexogen #RNASalon

🚨 Postdoc or PhD opportunity! 🕸️ Protein-protein interaction networks face challenges like high error rates and biased degree of certain proteins. Help us improve their quality and develop computational methods to better interpret them! More info: schaeferlab.org/misc/join/"

Haematologist and Clinician Scientist, Prof Jonathan Bond @sysbioire @UCDMedicine @PrecisionOncIre spoke to the @IrishTimes about his work advancing care for childhood #cancer patients. irishtimes.com/science/2024/1…

Great to see @jbond2019 recognised in this @IrishTimes article. Nicely touches on some of the collaborative opportunities opened up by POI, scaling up activity in specific cancer research areas @Researchirel @UCD_Research

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!
