Postdoc position open! Digital Pathology: Therapy-response prediction using spatial biology University of Salzburg Deadline: October 26th, 2025 We look forward to hearing from you! www.plus.ac.at/biowissensch...

What are the differences between cells ex vivo and in vivo and how does this affect responses to experimental perturbations? Aarathy from our group compared the transcriptome of hematopoietic cells cultured ex vivo to those grown in vivo using two KO datasets (Perturb-seq and genetic KOs).

Here it is! Bonsai. Now there is really no more excuse for using t-SNE/UMAP. Bonsai not only makes cool pictures of your data. It actually rigorously preserves its structure. No tunable parameters. Incredible work by @dhdegroot.bsky.social. I'm so excited about this! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n

Thank you #MUV for awarding @nikfortelny.bsky.social and me with the Researcher of the Month award for our recent publication in @natureportfolio.nature.com Nature Immunology. Very proud and we will continue with excellent science tailored to identifying novel therapies for precision medicine.

We are hiring two tenured full-time professors in Salzburg, Austria!

Ok, I tried to create my own list of people working on developing statistical or machine learning models applied to omics data. I am sure I missed a lot of cool people. If you'd like to be added, let me know. #Stats #ML #Omics go.bsky.app/73rcuJn

Not checking nuclear markers like MALAT1 or intronic reads in your scRNA-seq data?🚨 We show their power to flag low-quality cells—even in top public datasets. It’s time to prioritize better QC for cleaner, more reliable genomics research! Read more: bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.... 1/8

“But the eggs were just so expensive.”

Thanks Nature Immunology for highlighting our paper with a Research Briefing, explaining the broader relevance with a bit of backstory and quotes from a reviewer and the editor. The paper is open access, but the Research Briefing is not – please use the following link for free access: rdcu.be/dGnH0

Started during my postdoc but has now come to fruition! Systematic analyses of JAK-STAT signaling show the intriguing roles of this classical immune-response pathway in homeostasis. A big thanks to a whole consortium of experimental collaborators for a massive dataset!
