About Us The Soldner lab seeks applications for a Bioinformatics analyst to develop and apply methods to analyze epigenetics and functional genomic data sets, such as ATAC/CUT&Tag-seq, single cell transcriptomic and perturb-seq data set generated from human organoid and stem cell models. The focus of the Soldner laboratory is modeling human brain development and function in cell culture as a tool to systematically investigate the genetic, cellular, and molecular basis of complex neurological disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. We employ an interdisciplinary approach, integrating functional genomics approaches in human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) derived neuronal cells with population genetics and genome-scale epigenetic information to study neurodegenerative disorders in a genetically controlled and systematic manner. We have recently established a novel CRISPR functional genomics platform in monolayer and organoid neuronal cultures to quantitatively dissect how genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors contribute to the development and progression of neurological diseases and to identify novel therapeutic targets.
