Interested in human genetics and neuroepigenetics. Just do it! Opinions are my own.
We're so excited to offer this course in Atlanta this Fall. Open to interested scientists all over the world with many great hands-on learning opportunities. We are especially interested in candidates who are new to this space or hoping to bring organoid biology to their labs!
Come join the Brain Organoid Hub this October for a hands-on and immersive workshop to learn the ins and outs of brain organoid culture! We will be offering in-depth training, expert lectures, and practical demos. Apply now at brainorganoidhub.com/workshop.
Precision medicine for rare genetic disorders is always a challenge. By collaborating with @TjianDarzacq, we are leveraging high-resolution single-molecule tracking as the next frontier for developing therapies for Rett syndrome and other diseases. genesdev.cshlp.org/cgi/content/lo…
Our preprint describing the Tandem Repeat Genotyping Tool (TRGT) is now available. In this paper we describe how TRGT combined with long and accurate @PacBio sequencing can detect all of the features known to be associated with tandem repeats. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
So proud of my student Tanvi, and very grateful to @NFXFoundation for giving her this opportunity and supporting our research!
Meet RJH Summer Scholar: ⭐Tanvi Kamra⭐ A sophomore undergrad at Emory, Tanvi will study multiomic analysis of postmortem brains in Fragile X-associated disorders w/ her mentor Dr. Nisha Raj. 👏 Congrats on the 2025 Randi J. Hagerman Award, Tanvi! 🔗 hubs.ly/Q03r1GdC0
