Come work with us. Two postdoc positions available in my group to work on a) uncovering the mechanisms of a novel hematologic syndrome (wet lab) or b) analysis of our cool single cell proteomics datasets (computational). 👇 employment.ku.dk/faculty/?sh…

Another great paper using #ribosomeprofiling The authors investigated mRNA translation in later differentiating cortical neurons (using NPCs) and found they rely heavily on translation regulation to modulate genes/pathways needed for neuronal maturation link.springer.com/article/10…
