Our lab focuses on the interplay of coding and non-coding RNAs, such as the novel class of circular RNAs in heart disease.
Moreover, we develop new computational tools that can be used by other researchers in their field of interest.
The Jakobi Lab is part of the Translational Cardiovascular Research Center (TCRC) in the Department of Internal Medicine at the The University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix.
We are looking for a Postdoctoral Research Associate, Master’s and PhD students, and a Research Associate.
Are you ready to revolutionize our understanding of circular RNAs (circRNAs) and their role in heart disease? We’re seeking a highly motivated and talented computational biologist to join our team at the Jakobilab!
As a postdoctoral researcher in our lab, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to the development of new features for circtools, our widely-used circRNA analysis software. You’ll work alongside world-class researchers and scientists who are passionate about advancing the field of circRNA research.
Our lab is committed to fostering a collaborative and inclusive research environment that values innovation, creativity, and teamwork. As a postdoctoral researcher in our lab, you’ll have access to cutting-edge resources, state-of-the-art facilities, and a supportive team of researchers who are dedicated to advancing the field of circRNA research.
If you’re ready to join our dynamic team, please submit your CV and a brief statement of research interests via our application portal. We look forward to hearing from you!
We are proud to release circtools 2.0 on GitHub and the accompanying paper on bioRxiv in collaboration with the Dieterich Lab.
Circtools 2.0 features 4 completely new modules for computational circular RNA research:
Tobias was invited to present at the reImagine Health Symposium on Artificial Intelligence in Medical Practice and Research at The University of Arizona, College of Medicine Phoenix. Fantastic conference with great speakers, highlighting the importance as well as pitfalls of the use of AI in medical practise and research.
Dr. Jakobi is bioinformatician trained with an emphasis on the interconnection of wet lab research and computational research. His academic and research training included eukaryotic biology, genome research, and wet lab training in addition to comprehensive training in theoretical and applied bioinformatics to allow the fluent communication between wet lab and bioinformatics.
I am working as Assistant Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine and in the new Translational Cardiovascular Research Center (TCRC) at The University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix .
