🧵1/ 🔬 A postdoc in numbers (and life beyond the lab) As I wrap up my postdoc with @mitchell.science at @bsmsmedschool.bsky.social, I've been reflecting on everything that’s changed since I started in 2021. A lot can happen in a few years…

so lovely to be at @cshlnews.bsky.social for the Systems Immunology Meeting. Great venue and even better science.

Congrats Okan! I’m using the old “stand one step down” trick here.

I will be talking about our new cancer genomics toolkit DepMine at the first meeting of the @sussexcancer.org Sussex Cancer Research Centre Computational Biology Group today - new career trajectory ok so far 🤞

Proud moment from Arran Pack's graduation. It's so rewarding to see our lab's first PhD student graduate, and I couldn't have asked for a better first student. Job well done Arran! 🤜🤛

🎓Graduation news! 🎓 Some of the HaemTeam were at @bsmsmedschool.bsky.social graduation this week celebrating new Drs. The @andreapepper.bsky.social @chrispepper68.bsky.social team were celebrating Eleni Ladikou and Kim Sharp PhD graduation, whilst @mitchell.science were toasting Arran Pack grad!

Thoughts from leaders of systems #immunology how mechanistic models can leverage omics/ML for deeper understanding of how our immune system works #sysbio @cp-cellsystems.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell-systems...

Do you like trees? Fancy quantifying tree shapes in terms of diversity, balance, average outdegree, etc. so you can compare them with each other or with models? Even if they have very different leaf counts? And accounting for branch lengths and polytomies? We have an easy solution for you. 1/n

Excited to share a new pre-print led by the incredible PhD student Aimilia Vareli. biorxiv.org/content/10.1... She asked why drugs that kill cancer cells in blood don't kill them in lymph nodes? How we can fix that? 🧵🧪 @sussexcancer.org @bsmsmedschool.bsky.social @sussexuni.bsky.social
