We’re doing a half day PI training on unconscious bias in academia @CompHealthMuc, kindly presented by Saher Ahmed @sangerinstitute. The attached „academic wheel of privilege“ feels quite useful to quantify our potential biases I think; reference here doi.org/10.31222/osf.i…
Welcome to Bavaria - Grand reception by Bavarian government at the Residenz.
German hosted European soccer championship coming up. Spoke with some super nice Scotland fans ‘in nice skirts’ as I said - them: these are kilts! Lkg fwd to match tomorrow evening!
Happy that CellRank2 is out @naturemethods! @PhilippWeiler7 & @MariusLange8 led this multimodal extension of CellRank, to allow study of cellular fate via multiview single-cell data of millions of cells in unified fashion. Text nature.com/articles/s4159… code github.com/theislab/cellr…
NRW science minister Ina Brandes @MKW_NRW introducing the state local AI session @helmholtz_ai HAICON 24, where eg @fz_juelich presents its upcoming GPU supercomputer JUPITER.
Smita @KrishnaswamyLab explaining in her keynote @helmholtz_ai HAICON 24 how to add biological priors to networks and use those for discovery.
Thanks Joakim for great conference organisation and fun spatial all stars dinner!
Looking fwd to today and tomorrow’s Nobel Symposium on Spatial Biology @ScienceAcad_swe at Stockholm - here Mats Nilsson as chair and Xiaowei Zhuang as first speaker kicking it off with exciting MERFISH data&methodology!
Exciting @HelmholtzMunich townhall meeting of the bioengineering department. Lots of fun science and good discussion, congrats!
Thanks for kind invite to @MDC_Berlin and fun discussions + great vegan food @S_Grosswendt @N_Rajewsky & Laleh!
Yogesh @yogeshgoyallab presenting @CompHealthMuc about cell decision making and potential ‚free will’ of a cell.
In need of an educational weekend read? Check out our new perspective @CellCellPress with Rahul @satijalab. Led by @mo_lotfollahi & @YUHANHAO2, we outline how to automate single-cell data analysis via reference mapping. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
Breaking news at #BioEng24: Ido @IdoAmitLab jumping in for late cancellation! Ido was around for some review and we were actually supposed to go running in the morning. I had to skip due to family reasons - so Ido instead came over for a last-minute talk. Thanks, Ido!
Smita @KrishnaswamyLab presenting at #BioEng24 - here with all the math friends @HelmholtzMunich @Pseudomanifold & Guy Wolf
Guy Wolf @Mila_Quebec visiting @HelmholtzMunich as @AvHStiftung fellow to work with us and @Pseudomanifold lab on manifold learning. Starting with fun talk on geometry and diffusions.
Excited to share Nicheformer! Led by @Alejandro__TL & @AnnaCSchaar, Nicheformer is a foundation model for single-cell & spatial omics. Its innovation is going beyond disassociated analysis to capture & predict local tissue context at single-cell level. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Interested in joining the lab? Together with @JoLSchultze lab @DZNE_de Bonn we are looking for a postdoc to develop AI-based representations of flow and multi-omics data and apply them in a diagnostic setting across multiple hospitals. More info & apply: jobs.helmholtz-muenchen.de/jobposting/471…
View on X: post of 16 Apr 2024Great perspective by @mmbronstein on model adapted data generation (‚black box data‘) as the next step towards a ‚biology 2.0‘ empowered by AI! towardsdatascience.com/the-road-to-bi…
Excited that SpatialData is out @naturemethods! With @OliverStegle & @notjustmoore labs, we introduce & implement a dataframework & fileformat for multimodal spatial omics, based on the @openmicroscopy standard. Read at nature.com/articles/s4159… & try here spatialdata.scverse.org.
Interested in visiting my lab, and working at Californian university? Maybe consider applying for this nice stipend: bacatec.de/en/hightech-ag…
Visiting exciting @EMBO workshop at beautiful Heidelberg on generative AI and foundation models in the life sciences. Thanks @tlemberger Sandra Filippa and @OliverStegle for organizing!
Great cycle to work today - I often listen to podcasts, and the Daily @nytimes was reporting today about the ancient DNA + genomic medicine study @Nature from my collab partner Lars Fugger @OxNeuro. Cool to hear colleagues featured there, great science!
View on X: post of 1 Feb 2024Excited to share ehrapy, our data & software framework for exploratory electronic health record (EHR) analysis. Led by @LukasHeumos and inspired by scanpy, we enable vendor-independent exploratory end-to-end analysis of EHR data. medrxiv.org/content/10.110… github.com/theislab/ehrapy
New @CompHealthMuc PI Eric Schulz kindly presenting GPT as science assistant at dpt retreat - super useful!
Fun @CompHealthMuc retreat, with cool science and discussion - here podium discussion on foundation models is biomedicine.
Ralf Huss @BioM_Munich presenting at @HelmholtzMunich Town Hall about Munich Biotech ecosystem. Check out fun ad movie here youtube.com/embed/qRO3EniL…
Congrats @MatthiasTschop for this year‘s Heinrich Wieland Prize awarded by Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation. Well deserved!
