My grad student Oz and I are very excited to share our new work, Differentiable Design for Morphogenesis www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... (waxMorph)

How are two embryos alike? As we collect spatio-temporal microscopy data, we want to quantify variability in the timing of key developmental events. Alignment of multiple recordings is a core engineering challenge here and we suggest a solution; read about it: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Leaving my office v happy this Friday. This thesis was hand delivered by the author (Mari) who visited our lab before there even was a proper lab. The visit led to nice science, recently published, and more importantly ongoing science and friendship 😊 thanks @kuba-sedzinski.bsky.social and team!

Excited to present our framework for interpretable disentanglement in multi condition data at ICML' 26 arxiv.org/abs/2506.17182 . While useful for different types of data, we think it's particularly useful if you have omics collected across distinct covariates like age or perturbations! Try it out!

First lab photo w special guest!

We're looking for two postdocs to join us! Topic 1: interpretable diffusion models for multi-scale morphology + genomics data! Topic 2: generation and control of biomaterials! If interested, send me CV + 3 recommendation letters over email!

Our fantastic postdoc Lambda talking about her adventure to find multi-scale signals in spatial transcriptomics at CSHL Single Cell Analysis. Preprint coming out soon! 😊 🚀 🚲

An exciting collaboration with a wonderful team! Check out Kuba's tutorial!

Latest from the lab: a review led by @jamesehammond.bsky.social on the evolvability of vertebral counts and the developmental processes that make it possible.

Thrilled to announce that I am looking for a Research Technician/Assistant to join my lab @imbavienna.bsky.social. Please consider applying if you’re enthusiastic about #devbio #stemcells #teamwork and excited to help shaping a new lab! Thankful for any retweet! 🫶 imba.onlyfy.jobs/job/l6u2m980

Congratulations Kristina and happy for those lucky to join your group!

Thank you so much for the highlight and for the nice summary of our recent work!

Dr. Bianca Dumitrascu (bimidu.bsky.social) led a new study published in naturemethods.bsky.social on a computational pipeline linking spatial transcriptomics + mechanical forces in tissue development. Read more: bit.ly/4kCgT1q #CancerResearch #Mechanobiology #SpatialTranscriptomics #IICDColumbia

Some light yesterday at Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's new book reading.

What a treat to be part of this effort! Congratulations @jcornwallscoones.bsky.social and team!

Check out our newest preprint on #bioxiv. We developed Patches, a tool for extracting joint and condition specific signatures from scRNA-seq data in complex experimental designs like wound healing: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... GitHub: github.com/Computationa...

Very excited about this first adventure in looking at regeneration! Thank you Maria and @smeetonlab.bsky.social for a fantastic first collaborative project :)
