I’ll be at #ashg2025 ! Please let me know if you want to chat with me about research, my lab at UW saorisakaue.github.io etc etc! I’ll also be standing at the poster session on Friday 5075F at 2:30-4p if you can swing by to chat👋

New paper from my lab and @jshendure.bsky.social lab! Led by the brilliant @zukailiu.bsky.social and @cxqiu.bsky.social. We tackled how anterior and posterior progenitor cells cooperate to self-organize into an embryonic structure (termed AP-gastruloid). (1/n) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

📣Excited to share my last postdoc paper with @soumya-boston.bsky.social on eQTL mechanisms depending on where the RNA is in the cell! @broadinstitute.org @harvardmed.bsky.social TL;DR:Early RNA eQTL variants in the nucleus and late RNA eQTL variants in the cytosol have distinct molecular mechanism🧵

Excited to tell you about VIMA (Variational Inference-based Microniche Analysis), our deep learning + stats hybrid for case-control analysis of multi-sample spatial molecular datasets. 🧵👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @soumya-boston.bsky.social @broadinstitute.org
