Jess Ewald
Computational biologist using omics data (imaging, gene expression) to investigate the impacts of environmental contaminants on biological systems
Group Leader @EMBL-EBI (www.ewaldlab.org)
- It's been a great first few months at the EBI!
- Meet our newest Research Group Leader: Jess Ewald @ewaldlab.org 🇨🇦 Jess’s group takes a multi-disciplinary approach to identify and characterise chemical hazards to humans and ecosystems, using cell profiling data, machine learning, and integrative data analysis. www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/p... 🖥️🧬
- Reposted by Jess EwaldMorph Map is now published in Nature Methods. Excited to see what the community discovers with this resource mapping ~15,000 human genes! rdcu.be/ezGre
- Now on biorxiv! The JUMP-Cell Painting Consortium’s paper: “Morphological map of under- and over-expression of genes in human cells” This is the genetic perturbation portion of the JUMP’s dataset; our chemical perturbation paper will come in a few months www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Check out this opportunity to join my lab as a postdoc! www.ebi.ac.uk/research/pos... Every year, faculty from EMBL-EBI and the Wellcome Sanger Institute co-develop projects that allow fellows to be part of ✨both✨ of these amazing research institutes.
- Two of the projects are co-hosted by my lab (ewaldlab.org)
- Two days left before the application closes!
- 🚨 We're hiring! 🚨 The Ewald Lab at EMBL-EBI is looking for a postdoctoral researcher in multi-omics, machine learning, and predictive toxicology to analyze a groundbreaking toxicology dataset as part of the OASIS Consortium. More details & application here: lnkd.in/eHD7DMdX

- First large-scale analysis of chemical toxicity in primary human hepatocytes! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- 2/ High-throughput, human-relevant approaches for predicting chemical toxicity are urgently needed. In our new preprint, we use Cell Painting and cytotoxicity assays to profile >1000 compounds in primary human hepatocytes, including pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals.
- Reposted by Jess EwaldWe've a postdoc opening for our lab at the Broad: Cambridge MA! Must have experience in toxicology + data science Work on the wonderful OASIS dataset we are producing... Cell Painting, transcriptomics, proteomics in various liver cell and tissue models! broad.io/mlcbpostdoc
- Reposted by Jess EwaldNew Year, new job? Delighted to announce two early-career-level (post-BA/BS or MA) positions in my lab, and an open call for computational postdocs at the Broad! First, an image analysis associate - work on high content screens for all kinds of cells and dimensionalities! See more at link (1/4)
- 🎉 I'm starting my own lab at EMBL-EBI (Cambridge, UK; June 2025) 🎉 We will focus on identifying and characterizing chemical hazards to humans and ecosystems using computational biology methods. I am beginning the search for two postdocs now - stay tuned for more details! ewaldlab.org
- Reposted by Jess EwaldExcited to present our spotlight paper at #NeurIPS! MOTIVE is a new dataset + benchmark for predicting drug-target interactions, using Cell Painting data Location: Fri 13 Dec 4:30 p.m. PST @ East Exhibit Hall A-C #4208 Poster: neurips.cc/virtual/2024... Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2406.08649
- A new paper from the Carpenter-Singh Lab - such a cool project and I'm really excited about the possibilities that these data will unlock for future projects!
- Now on biorxiv! The JUMP-Cell Painting Consortium’s paper: “Morphological map of under- and over-expression of genes in human cells” This is the genetic perturbation portion of the JUMP’s dataset; our chemical perturbation paper will come in a few months www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Really loved the concept of distinguishing between 'fun challenge stress' and 'threat stress' on this Ologies podcast on burnout: open.spotify.com/episode/0ccV... Reflecting on my own work patterns as I mentally prepare to start my own lab. Any tips out there?
