Delighted to present Latent Interaction Variational Inference (LIVI), a framework for trans-eQTL mapping at single-cell resolution that I developed during my PhD together with colleagues from @steglelab.bsky.social 1/n

🧬 New preprint alert! After years of collaborative work across 52 datasets we are presenting eQTLGen phase 2: a genome-wide eQTL meta-analysis covering 43,301 blood samples: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6... (1/8)

Fresh off the press in 2026! Interested in the challenge of how to advance from descriptive atlases to causal mechanisms and counterfactuals? 🔬 Take a look at our recent perspective: "Interpretation, extrapolation and perturbation of single cells"! (rdcu.be/eXeDY)

Back from #scverse25 and feeling inspired by what @scverse.bsky.social has achieved over the last years. Impressive tools, a vibrant community and we even had a reunion with our two alumni Danila and Max Frank. We also presented our latest findings from the lab 👇

🧠 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🧵👇

1/ New preprint! 🍳 @elihei.bsky.social and our team at @embl.org , @dkfz.bsky.social, and @mskcancercenter.bsky.social built #segger - a fast, accurate cell segmentation tool for spatial transcriptomics that assigns transcripts to their cell origins! doi.org/10.1101/2025...

The next selection round for the DKFZ International PhD Program has started. Please consider applying to this really excellent program! I'll be proposing projects, as will many other outstanding PIs.
