The final version of our multi-omics study on kidney fibrosis is out now (tinyurl.com/kidneyfibMSB). Together w/ Pepperkok + Savitski labs @embl.org, we present a time-resolved #multiomics + computational network modeling approach in combination w/ phenotypic assays to study #kidneyfibrosis

I wrote a short piece on how becoming an IgA Nephropathy patient has changed my perspective on biomedical research, developing an appreciation for the challenges in data interpretability & availability and the importance of patient engagement www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How does tumour heterogeneity arise? How can we predict cancer cell plasticity? In 2 new studies, we trace #glioblastoma heterogeneity to a spatial cancer cell trajectory w. multimodal cell atlassing bit.ly/4mkrWgs & predict plasticity w. snRNA/ATAC+deep learning bit.ly/3FbI6Ic 🧵

🧠 Excited to share my main PhD project! We mapped the regulatory rules governing Glioblastoma plasticity using single-cell multi-omics and deep learning. This work is part of a two-paper series with @bayraktarlab.bsky.social @oliverstegle.bsky.social and @moritzmall.bsky.social, Preprint at end🧵👇

🎗️On #RareDiseaseDay, we raise awareness for #MYT1L Syndrome, a rare #autism-associated disorder disrupting brain development. Our research at DKFZ, ZI, and Heidelberg University Hospital shows an epilepsy drug may help—future trials ahead! 📑 www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🎥 youtu.be/nYqNEPIOc-8?...

#CellPlasticity—the ability of cells to change their identity—is vital for tissue growth and repair. But when it goes unchecked, it can fuel #cancer. Our latest study examines how to block #LiverCancer by actively suppressing plasticity. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #CancerBiology

The final chapter of my PhD thesis is now out! 🎉 We compared the latest gene regulatory network (#GRN) inference methods for #single-cell multimodal datasets and evaluated their performance across various tasks. Hard to believe this journey started in March 2021 and has finally reached this point 😅🥳

We present Gene Regulatory nETwork Analsyis (GRETA), a framework to infer, compare and evaluate gene regulatory networks #GRNs. With it, we have benchmarked multimodal and unimodal GRN inference methods. Check the results here 👇 Paper: doi.org/10.1101/2024.12.20.629764 Code: github.com/saezlab/greta

Very pleased to announce that our package for Multiscale Spatial Analysis - MuSpAn - has landed! The preprint is on biorxiv now, but you can find a lot more details at www.muspan.co.uk, including documentation, worked tutorials (an ever-expanding list), install guides, and how to get the code!

We’re thrilled to introduce MuSpAn! For researchers in biological imaging, MuSpAn provides tools for Multiscale Spatial Analysis with advanced mathematical methods. 🌟 For more information: www.muspan.co.uk 📝 Preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2024... We hope you find it as useful as we do! (Poster below)

Great to see the study published! Congrats to all co-authors and thanks very much for having us @juliosaezrod.bsky.social @saezlab.bsky.social on the team. A nice example of how the @aihcluster.bsky.social makes new collaborations possible.

Want to know how many vesicles there are in a mossy fibre synapse, without counting thousands of vesicles by hand in electron micrographs? Our new tool SynapseNet has you covered and is now available as a preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... . Read on for a short overview of our paper.

We present NetworkCommons, a unified platform 🪐 for network biology, providing access to omics data, knowledge, and contextualization methods, all with a consistent API 👇🧵 Paper: doi.org/10.1101/2024... Docs: networkcommons.readthedocs.io
