🚨 Our new paper: Conditional Optimal Transport generalizes well to unseen drugs. Big step forward, thanks to conditional Monge Gap! Even better: conditional models often beat local, non-conditional ones. arxiv.org/abs/2504.08328. Code public! Thanks to all co-authors @marianna-raps.bsky.social

Looking forward to 2 days full of exciting CompBio research @unil.bsky.social this September 🧬🧫🔬 Hurry up and register!

#IDWGS — Day of Women and Girls in Science 👩‍🔬 🚀 🏛️ To strengthen the leadership qualities of women researchers, the SNSF ran the #PRIMA #Leadership Programme for five years. Now, some of the participants have written a book to share some of their stories. 📆 Book launch: 29 September 2025

Precision Dermatology 2.0: #DataScience + #Immunology + #Genomics + #Clinical Science. Interdisciplinary collaboration at its best at the @CHUV. www.chuv.ch/fr/chuv-home... Paper on @naturecomms.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

If you're @neuripsconf.bsky.social and into #OptimalTransport & bio, dont miss on Alice Driessen's spotlight talk on #ConditionalMongeGap for modeling CAR Response. Today #AIDrugX workshop! Positive results on OOD perturbations -> accurate gene expression prediction. Paper: ibm.biz/carot-pre

We are hiring (resharing appreciated)! Given recent successful grant applications (I got my SNSF Starting Grant 🚀), we are extending the LIAC team with multiple openings (PhD/postdoc) for 2025. Apply now (deadline: December 20th) by filling in this form: forms.fillout.com/t/eq5ADAw3kkus. #ChemSky

Hiring! I'm looking for a postdoc in machine learning of spatial single-cell data. Exciting project to develop methods for modelling cellular circuits in disease and regeneration of heart, liver and bone marrow using Xenium data from our lab. tinyurl.com/ymkvk7vn

Preprint alert! We profiled immune organization in sentinel lymph nodes (sLNs) of melanoma patients using spatial proteomics and spatial transcriptomics, and found that it is prognostic of distant metastases. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

🚀 We're #Hiring #PhD students at #MLBio Lab at @EPFL through the #EDIC Program! 📅 Deadline: Dec 15 💥 We're part of School of Computer Science and School of Life Sciences at EPFL which gives access to excellent collaborators, network, and resources! 👉 Learn more at brbiclab.epfl.ch!

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️ So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality? We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary #WomeninSTEM www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... 🧵 1/

If you are considering creating a Python package I strongly suggest cookiecutter-scverse by @scverse.bsky.social It’s a template that already incorporates many useful features. github.com/scverse/cook...

Not a #science post but somehow the perfect #firstblueskypost.. Somewhere in the Swiss Alps, the year of our Lord 2024 😎 Ladies, stay classy!

Sign of the times, no more bluebird on the biorxiv engagement tab..

Fist real post here — so pay attention, folks! Below is (yet another) nice study from our neighbours in the Oudelaar lab and peers SPP2202 and SFB1565, to which we added bottom-up MD simulations to further rationalise experimental data. Read on in @mariekeoudelaar.bsky.social ‘s thread!

Fresh off the presses: In "Learning on compressed molecular representations" Jan Weinreich and I looked into whether GZIP performed better than Neural Networks in chemical machine learning tasks. Yes, you've read that right. TL;DR: Yes, GZIP can perform better than baseline GNNs and MLPs. It can ..

Thank you for this incredible honor! 🙏 A huge shoutout to the trainees in my lab—this achievement is thanks to you. Excited for what’s ahead from our Biomedical #DataScience Center at UNIL/CHUV 🚀 #Teamwork #Innovation #AI #HighlyCited2024 clarivate.com/highly-cited... @unil.bsky.social

Interested in #singlecell and #spatial #metabolomics? Then book your calendar for December 10th! – Our online, free event will summarize major achievements of the field in 2024. #metabolism #omics #MALDI #EPFL With Giovanni D'Angelo and our #PhD students we prepared for you a fantastic lineup. 🧵 1/5

Alma Dal Co was an incredible scientist and a wonderful person who left us far too soon. Last Friday, Sven Bergmann and the Alma Dal Co foundation organized a very special 2nd Memorial Symposium. It was mind-blowing to see how Alma‘s ideas continue to be a huge influence on all of us who knew her.

So many nice starter packs.. I couldn't find one related to spatial biology yet, so I started one 🧬🔬! Here's who I’ve included so far—let me know if you'd like to be added or suggest other must-follow accounts! #SpatialBiology go.bsky.app/SU34ELC

Here is an initial starter pack list on Machine Learning on Graphs: go.bsky.app/HN2MTzp

Inspired by the other amazing starter packs - here's one for cancer researchers! I tried to make this broad - from immunology to genomics to cell biology and so much more.. This list also includes organizations & institutes supporting cancer researchers 🧪🔬⚕️🩺 Hope its useful! go.bsky.app/FEoaJMc

🧠Le 23 novembre aura lieu la Journée de l’intelligence artificielle organisée par l’UNIL et l’EPFL. L’occasion de parcourir ses bénéfices et risques dans les sciences biomédicales, glaciologiques et criminelles. À lire dans l'uniscope 👉 go.unil.ch/sMZUc

in case this is useful to someone in this massive platform migration: a starting pack for single-cell omics computational methods go.bsky.app/GmS1cH
