Nine years ago, Professor Diana Hargreaves embarked on a V Foundation-funded project to find better drug targets for cancers with mutations in a multi-protein complex called SWI/SNF that regulates DNA structure and stability. Today, that project's exceptional success is being recognized with another V Foundation recognition—a 2025 All-Star Translational Award. Diana will receive $1 million to advance her new project, which aims to improve immunotherapy in patients with pancreatic cancer.

Enjoying interviewing folks for these position-- if you're thinking about a postdoc and would like to chat, do reach out!
Ann Kennedy@Antihebbiann11 Dec 2024
Interested in diffusion models, behavior forecasting, internal states, neuromechanical modeling, reservoir computing, joint neural/behavioral datasets? Missing the sunshine? We have multiple fully funded postdoc positions, come join us!
The Kennedy lab is recruiting for multiple funded postdoctoral positions in theoretical and computational neuroscience, following our recent lab move to Scripps Research in sunny San Diego, California. Ongoing projects in the lab span topics in: - reservoir computing with heterogeneous cell types - reinforcement learning/control theory analysis of complex behavior - neuromechanical whole-organism modeling - imitation learning/forecasting of mouse social interactions - joint analysis/modeling of effects of internal states on neural + vocalization + behavior data Projects are flexible and can be tailored to applicants’ research and training goals, and there are abundant opportunities for new collaboration with local experimental groups. We offer competitive postdoctoral stipends that reflect coastal cost-of-living expectations and include a relocation bonus, with research professorship positions available for qualified applicants. Info at kennedylab.org. Contact akennedy@scripps.edu

Congratulations to Dr. Sharona Ben-Haim (@SBenHaimMD) on receiving an @NIH grant to map pain networks in the human brain! This work may lead to non-opioid treatments for chronic #pain—which affects nearly 20% of adults in the U.S. Grant details: bit.ly/411g5ZW

Honored to speak to @NPR about how new surgical treatments are helping #epilepsy patients who are medication resistant live a seizure-free life. Very happy this information is being shared, as some patients aren’t aware of their surgical options: bit.ly/3ZTIX5T
