🔥 Apply: partners.taleo.net/careersection/…
Please RT. We are hiring a #postdoc on #StatGen at Ray and Stephanie Lane Computational Biology Dept. CMU School of Computer Science. Here is the link to the job post. apply.interfolio.com/145466
Our paper on PROSPER, a new multi-ancestry PRS method with penalized regression is out on Nature Communications ! Check here nature.com/articles/s4146…. Thanks to everyone offering help along the way!! Nilanjan Chatterjee Haoyu Zhang Jin Jin Jianan Zhan Ruzhang Zhao Cheng Ma and PRIMED Consortium
The last of our trio of papers on alternative classes of methods for generating PGS for multi-ancestry population @PRSdivsesity using summary statistics data is out! The whole project was possible by incredible team effort and individual leaderships by Jingning Zhang
Our new multi-ancestry PRS method MUSSEL has been published on Cell Genomics. It uses a Bayesian multi-variate spike and slab prior plus super learner to improve PRS performances. Huge congratulations to Jin Jin ,Jianan Zhan , Jingning, Nilanjan Chatterjee and all! Cancer Epi & Genetics
Our paper on MUSSEL, a method for developing ancestry-specific PRS, is finally out in
Cell Genomics
: cell.com/cell-genomics/…! Thank you for the > 3-year effort

Updated software: github.com/Jin93/MUSSEL Feel free to try it out!
Thrilled to share that I will be joining Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai as Assistant Professor, starting on July 1. I’m also seeking a motivated postdoc in environmental epi and data science to join my lab. Deeply appreciate it if you could spread the opportunity with your network. Thank you!
Congratulations to newest CGM at MGH & Mass General Research Institute faculty member Wei Zhou on her 2024 Claflin Distinguished Scholar Award!
Really happy to see our review article on somatic and germline variation out in Nature Reviews Genetics! Great effort with amazing team of superstars Zhi Yu, M Mesbah Uddin, Kristin Ardlie, Niall J Lennon and Pradeep Natarajan.
As an epidemiologist, it’s often easy to overlook the fact that each row of data is actually a human being to love or be loved by someone. Wonderful Broad Institute Catalyst Convos talk “My Heart in your Hands” by Pradeep Natarajan that reminded why I do and love research.
Genetic variation across and within individuals go.nature.com/3PFrsTf #Review by Zhi Yu, Tim Coorens, Md Mesbah Uddin, Kristin G. Ardlie, Niall J Lennon & Pradeep Natarajan
Hi friends! We are looking to hire a postdoc to join our group Ray and Stephanie Lane Computational Biology Dept. CMU School of Computer Science, to work on exciting projects related to identifying disease genes by integrating GWAS and functional genomics. mzhanglab.github.io/openings/
Our review article is out!🎉
Grateful for the chance Nature Reviews Genetics Pradeep Natarajan to delve into the similarities, differences, and interplay between somatic and germline mutations🧬with super talented Tim Coorens!
Also, thank Henry Ertl for the dedication in handling the review!
Our very own Zhi Yu and M Mesbah Uddin along with Tim Coorens Pradeep Natarajan do an incredible job summarizing the importance of germline and somatic variation in health and disease.
Very excited to share our review on genetic variation across and within individuals led by Zhi Yu Tim Coorens! nature.com/articles/s4157… Nature Reviews Genetics
