We are seeking to recruit a Postdoctoral Fellow for a position in statistical genetics of neurodegeneration.
The success of GWAS studies in the last ten years has fundamentally changed our understanding of the genetic basis of complex diseases. Despite this progress, only a small fraction of these discoveries have been translated into detailed causal mechanisms, or investigated using functional experiments, to validate specific genes as potential new therapeutic targets. Open Targets (www.opentargets.org) is a public-private initiative to dramatically accelerate this process, and enable the systematic identification and prioritization of targets. We combine large-scale genomic experiments with objective statistical and computational techniques to identify and validate the causal links between targets, pathways and diseases. We accelerate and enable research and innovation by making the evidence open and accessible to all.
