Excited to share that our paper that was accepted to #CHIL2025 "KEEP: Integrating Medical Ontologies with Clinical Data for Robust Code Embeddings" is now available at PMLR: raw.githubusercontent.com/mlresearch/v...

Super excited to share the first 3D genome paper from my lab @narjournal.bsky.social , led by my smart and hardworking student Carlos (joint with @LuLaboratory) with assists from a brilliant summer intern Narjis. (1/n) academic.oup.com/nar/article/...

super excited to share the newest from my lab: a tool that can securely process RNA-seq reads to quantify gene expression. Huge congrats to the dream team Seungwan, @BioConorWalker, and Annie! We developed a new gene expression quantification algorithm 1/2 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Stop collaborate and listen! 😀Yesterday was a great day for science! Thank you @standupforscience.bsky.social !The real work begins now. People are listening! We need to challenge misunderstandings and show that investment in science is crucial for our health for our economy and for our future!

One of the most powerful moments of the day came from Emily Whitehead who told the story of how she was the first pediatric patient to receive CAR T-cell therapy for her leukemia at age 5: “I stand up for science because science saved my life. And that’s a fact.” @standupforscience.bsky.social

🔷 📰 BLUETORIAL time! 📰 🔷 Excited to share recent work from our lab on noncoding genomics 🔎🧬: High-resolution CRISPR perturbations of the MYC TAD (~3 Mb) in 6 different human cancer cell lines www.nature.com/articles/s41...

More science! We have a new pre-print - more on non-IID federated learning: We (well my student Ahmed) were inspired by model pruning and developed a new metric called federation sensitivity. (1/2) www.arxiv.org/abs/2502.08829

The world is on fire but we must continue doing science! With immense pride, I share the latest from my lab: privateQTL - a method for federated and secure eQTL mapping, led by my brilliant student Annie from @ColumbiaDBMI www.cell.com/cell-genomic... (1/n)

Call for submission to 2025 @recombconf.bsky.social Satellite Conference on Biomedical Privacy and Equity (RECOMB P&E) is open! For more info please see recomb-privacy-equity.github.io/papers/ or reach out to our wonderful chairs (Hoon Cho and Shalmali Joshi! )

🎇🎄Some holiday reading: Overdue TWEETORIAL on the latest preprint from our lab 🎇🎄 In this work, superstar postdoc @xinhexue.bsky.social combined 2 kinds of pooled CRISPR screens to pinpoint noncoding regulatory elements and the transcription factors that activate these elements.

New paper alert! 🚨 SQUiD: Our secure and queryable genotype-phenotype database prototype with many secure analysis functionalities is out @genomebiologyunit.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Super excited for my lab's first paper at @recombconf.bsky.social. See you all in South Korea!
