The Seaborne Lab | Muscle-Omics

We now have a lab website: muscleomicslab.github.io

It has taken a while to write the code, update and is still a WIP, but it does a fair job of describing who we are, what we do and who funds us.

We are always looking for collabs so please spread the word (& website)

We will soon be looking for a comp biologist or bioinformatician to work on a number of linked projects within the lab - main focus is on molecular control of muscle

Before the official advert is published, I’m hoping to spread the news to any talented near-finishing PhDs or keen postdocs!

The brain-muscle epigenetic interplay in neuromuscular disease - MRC DTP Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease marked by progressive motor neuron loss. Emerging evidence suggests a critical, previously underappreciated role for skeletal muscle in ALS onset and progression, highlighting pathological and molecular interplay between brain and muscle. However, systematic, high-resolution molecular analyses across these tissues remain scarce. This project will use advanced […]

🚨Second position available in the lab.

Through MRC DTP programme we have a PhD opportunity working on brain-muscle axis, analysing shared/divergent molecular signatures across bulk tissue and single cell.

Please spread the word!

I thought science hinged on prestige. Moving abroad made me reassess my priorities In Denmark, this Ph.D. student fell in love with an egalitarian society that values work-life balance

Denmark is a country very difficult not to fall in love with
