Very happy to share our latest manuscript about TCR-epitope recognition specificity: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Cool paper on scRNA T cell annotation. However, a note for ProjecTILs users: I wouldn’t rely on the ProjecTILs benchmark in this work, as it was run using a mouse reference map to classify human T cells (even though human CD4/CD8 T cell maps are available github.com/carmonalab/P...)

I'm really excited to join the University of Geneva as associate professor. I look forward to expanding our research program in systems immunology within the Department of Pathology and Immunology and contributing to advance the Faculty's data science capabilities! JOB OPPORTUNITY👇

In a new Science study, researchers present ESM3, a protein language model that enables the programmed generation of protein structure and sequence in response to user prompts. Learn more: scim.ag/40l2z3J

Applying LLMs to biomedical research today can go one of two ways: we either use a closed-source web app, or we get coding ourselves. Many researchers lack training for the latter, so their only choice is the former. We want to change that. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Today, we're launching the Arc Virtual Cell Atlas, a growing resource for computation-ready single-cell measurements. arc-website-git-ben-virtual-cell-atlas-tool-arc-institute.vercel.app/news/news/ar...

How to do differential expression with scRNAseq data? State of the art is "pseudo-bulk" analysis with RNA-seq methods like edgeR or DESeq2, where "cell type" is encoded as discrete categories. Biologically, discrete categories are not always the most appropriate concept.(1/3) doi.org/10.1038/s415...

We have a new opening! Amazing environment colleagues and facility! Join us!

In case this is useful/interesting for others, I've posted the slides of recent mini-review for biology PhD students on “What is a cell type? conceptual and operational definitions in the single-cell omics era” Suggested corrections and additional refs welcome! doi.org/10.6084/m9.f...
