Great work on characterizing human microglia in 6 😱 neurological disorders! In collaboration with my next door colleagues at @eballestar.bsky.social’s lab!!

Made a #short about my internal conflicts on academic publishing #AcademicSky #PhDlife "Stop asking me where I want to publish our paper. I don't care...I just want people to read it. And maybe learn from it. Even build on it. Ok?" Is this #hopecore or #hopelesscore youtube.com/shorts/GV7NJ...

Researchers from the Crick have found that over 40% of variation in the way kidney cancer behaves is due to non-genetic factors. The findings were led by Angel Fernandez Sanroman with senior author Samra Turajlic www.crick.ac.uk/news-and-rep...

Excited to share our new study of #genomics🧬, #EHR📈 + treatment outcomes of 78K patients across 20 #cancers! We identified >700 mutations predicting which drugs💊 are effective for individual patients. Our #ML model predicts who responds well to immunotherapies. #precisioncancer

Only a subset of patients respond to immunotherapy Why? Which ones? We conducted an unbiased analysis of response biomarkers and found that hundreds of possible biomarkers collapse into five latent, orthogonal factors that underlie immunotherapy response. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hi! I just compiled some of the new Barcelona cancer labs! Many more missing, so let me know if anyone needs to be added! go.bsky.app/AkCGugm

A new approach helps examine the proportion of cancerous and healthy stem cells in patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia and how this influences treatment outcomes. https://buff.ly/3ULmWp6

Would you prefer to lead a lab alone or together with a science buddy? How interesting would be a research institute where joint labs are the standard?!

More than 40 @natureportfolio.bsky.social papers on the Human Cell Atlas.. Biology is changing so fast.. www.humancellatlas.org

Out today in Nature: "The Human Cell Atlas"! In my News and Views, I compare the cell atlas to early naturalists creating an atlas of South America. Researchers mining this cell atlas can now make big discoveries, just as the next naturalists then discovered evolution. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Hello world!! 🌍I’m happy to join this community with new and old scientists friends! Stay tuned if you want to know more about our science in #singlecell applications to biomedical research! Soon a new benchmarking of sc multiomics integrations in reference data!
