Descripción

The Institute

The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) is an international biomedical research institute of excellence, based in Barcelona, Spain, with more than 400 scientists from 44 countries.

The CRG is composed by an interdisciplinary, motivated, and creative scientific team which is supported both by a flexible and efficient administration and by high-end and innovative technologies.

In April 2021, the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) received the renewal of the 'HR Excellence in Research' Award from the European Commission.

This is a recognition of the Institute's commitment to developing an HR Strategy for Researchers, designed to bring the practices and procedures in line with the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers (Charter and Code).

The role

About the team

Cells are the fundamental units of life - underlying cooperative functions in multicellular organisms and complex temporal life cycles in microbial eukaryotes.

In recent years, the rapid advance in single-cell genomics technologies, combined with the growing availability of whole-genome sequences, opened up the opportunity to systematically map cell types in diverse organisms.

The goal of the Biodiversity Cell Atlas is to articulate a community effort to build whole-organism cell atlases across the diversity of life, working in a phylogenetically informed way, supported by high-quality genomes, and using shared standards that make comparisons across diversity possible.

This coordinated effort should boost our understanding the evolution and diversity of life at cellular resolution:
from gene regulatory programs, through cell type molecular profiles, to biological interactions between species.

At CRG, and together with EBI and the Earlham Institute, we are developing the computational infrastructure to host a multi-species database for the Biodiversity Cell Atlas initiative.

This will enable the interactive exploration of cell type molecular maps, gene co-expression profiles across evolution, comparison of cell types across species, and more.
