Hey, any #ALS researchers want to get together for a basic biology consortium (TALS has open proposals)?

DM me if so - happy to do a bunch of cool stuff in our organoids!

@andreaserio.bsky.social and I are recruiting a postdoc to lead an exciting MNDA-funded project using multi-omics to study long axons in motor neurons and how they shape susceptibility to #ALS.

Get in touch for any questions and apply by 2 December:
