#OMFScienceWednesday - collection of the posts

@JaimeS

Good questions; I sent this paper to Mohsen, although I believe I've sent it to him in the past.

Another Wednesday and another ScienceWednesday-post from OMF.

This time they are looking at the "omes" in biomedical research and gives an introduction to Genome, Transcriptome, Proteome, Metabolome and Microbiome.

This week's #OMFScienceWednesday post

Many of you have been asking questions about our red blood cell research. For this #OMFScienceWednesday, we examine the difference between RBC shape and RBC deformability, and how they relate to blood flow.

@Kalliope, would you put it link to the OMF website, as well as the Facebook link? That would help the brain-fogged members who are not on Facebook, which I am guessing will be more of us.

Yes, I'll try to remember that. Usually I think it is posted first on Facebook, and after a while on their website. But I agree both links should be added

New Science Wednesday Post from OMF.

Do infections lead to lasting changes in immune or metabolic function that lead to symptoms, or is the pathogen still present? This #OMFScienceWednesday, OMF discusses recently funded research into addressing this central question in ME/CFS.

I have no idea what that means for me as an ME patient!

Up Close with Robert Phair, PhD

On this #OMFScienceWednesday we introduce you to researcher Robert Phair, PhD, running the OMF-funded metabolic trap project. Today, Dr. Phair shares his personal connections and how he became a part of OMF’s End ME/CFS research project.

OMF: Meet Mohsen Nemat-Gorgani, PhD, member of the SGTC Team

On this #OMFScienceWednesday we are pleased to introduce you to a central member of the OMF-funded ME/CFS Collaborative Research Center team at the Stanford Genome Technology Center (SGTC), Mohsen Nemat-Gorgani, PhD. Dr. Nemat-Gorgani is leading a team to investigate the Red Blood Cells (RBC) in ME/CFS patients. Mohsen shared his story with OMF.

Thanks, @Kalliope, a fascinating piece of research.
A new thread on this has been started here:

Meet Rahim Esfanyarpour, PhD, member of the SGTC Team

On this #OMFScienceWednesday we introduce you to Stanford Genome Technology Center team member Rahim Esfandyarpour, PhD. Rahim ‘s ME/CFS research, funded by OMF, is focussed on the development of the nanoneedle as a biomarker for the disease.

Postdoctoral Fellow
Postdoc: Determining Immunological Basis of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Full-time NEW

The Steinmetz lab is looking for a talented postdoc to join our collaborative project with the labs of Ron Davis and Mark Davis to investigate the role of T cells and the immune system in ME/CFS.

The project aims to understand ME/CFS etiology by applying state-of-the-art single-cell transcriptomics to blood samples from ME/CFS patients. While TCR repertoires have been investigated in ME/CFS using bulk RNA-Seq, differences in activated T cells (which constitute only 2–5% of this population) would be easily obscured by this approach. We have developed a robust single-cell method for TCR sequencing and phenotyping. As the lead postdoc from the Steinmetz lab, you will lead the study design and perform experiments, including large-scale single-cell transcriptomics in human T-cells and other cells of the immune system.

Candidates should have a Ph.D. in a relevant field with strong expertise in immunology and single-cell RNA-seq. Knowledge and skills in analyzing NGS data will be a bonus.
