Structural biologist studying cilia and ciliopathies.https://bsky.app/profile/alanbrownhms.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/alanbrownhms.bsky.social/post/3mmhewr5ekc2gOne, perhaps two, of our postdocs are moving on to faculty positions this year (more news soon!). While they're truly irreplaceable, it does mean that we have openings for new members to join our team studying #cilia.

The position is intentionally broad, as we are looking for outstanding researchers from diverse scientific backgrounds to advance our understanding of cilia and ciliopathies: academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/15526 https://academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/1552618 Nov 2025 20:05 +0000at://did:plc:ppkzwpfggqo2fefw2oademfn/app.bsky.feed.post/3m5wjxtu2k22mhttps://bsky.app/profile/alanbrownhms.bsky.social/post/3m5jbfvdxvc2uDelighted to have contributed to this paper and amazing resource. In-silico protein-protein interaction screening has huge promise for generating novel hypotheses and building models into low-res #cryo-EM and #teamtomo maps.

Our latest collaborative study addresses this question using trypanosomatids as model organisms.
